The zinc-finger transcription factor Blimp1/Prdm1 is required for uterine remodelling and repair in the mouse.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The zinc finger transcription factor Blimp1/PRDM1 regulates gene expression in diverse cell types. Its activity controls the maternal decidual response at early post-implantation stages of development. The present experiments demonstrate surprisingly that Blimp1 activity in the uterus is required for tissue remodelling at sites of embryonic failure. Moreover Blimp1 mutant females are refractory to RU486 induced decidual shedding. RNA-seq together with immunostaining experiments strongly suggest that the failure to up-regulate expression of the matrix metalloprotease Mmp10 in combination with insufficient suppression of BMP signalling, likely explain Blimp1-dependent phenotypic changes. In the post-partum uterus Blimp1 together with Mmp10 are highly upregulated at sites of tissue repair following placental detachment. Conditional Blimp1 removal significantly impairs the re-epithelization process and severely impacts involution of the endometrium and luminal epithelium. Overall these results identify Blimp1 as a master regulator of uterine tissue remodelling and repair.
