Confocal and conventional immunofluorescence and ultrastructural localisation of intracellular strength-giving components of human amniochorion.
Article in Journal of anatomy, 1993. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Key cytoskeletal polypeptides of human fetal membranes have been localised at subcellular level using confocal and conventional indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. Correlation with electron microscope data has allowed us to examine how cellular compartments of this multilaminar tissue maintain their mechanical integrity until the time of membrane rupture at parturition. Evidence is presented for myofibroblastic characteristics of cells in both the fibroblast and reticular layers which may therefore have tension-generating, position-adjustment and wound-healing roles in the amniochorion. Desmin and vimentin are coexpressed in these cells, but a small localised population of cells in the fibroblast layer contains vimentin alone. An interaction of cytokeratin filaments with nuclei and desmosomes of amniotic epithelium in vivo is demonstrated, indicating that nuclei of cells of ectodermal origin are integrated into a mechanical structure extending throughout the tissue as a whole. Cells of the basal 1 or 2 layers of trophoblast have been shown to have a more extensive and better integrated cytoskeletal organisation than those overlying and forming the boundary with decidua. Structures within the trophoblast, identified previously as degenerate villi, contain cells with intermediate filaments with similar immunofluorescence properties to those of the neighbouring reticular layer and thus may represent papillae that prevent shearing at this interface.
