1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

By use of cryofracture and scanning electron microscopy of human amniochorion we have captured images of all the major layers of the tissue. Correlation of confocal and electron-microscope data has allowed greater understanding of how these cellular and acellular layers interconnect in order to maintain their integrity as a multilaminar tissue. This is not straightforward as mutual sliding or area change is required of concentric curved surfaces which expand and contract as does the amnion. In this paper we suggest a mechanism by which the amnion is able to slide with respect to the chorion and still maintain continuity as a structural unit. It is based on the observation of complementary gyri and sulci on surfaces facing the spongy layer which is a shear plane. Cellular detail at higher resolution of the amniotic epithelium and acellular layers provides a more complete description of structural composition than was previously available.
