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

Endometrial polyps are the predominant structural anomalies of the endometrial mucosa observed in unexplained infertility cases, potentially compromising endometrial receptivity and suggesting shared etiological characteristics. However, their comprehensive cell atlas and immune landscape remain inadequately defined. In this study, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing and bulk RNA-seq to systematically analyze ectopic endometrial polyps (EPs) alongside adjacent eutopic endometrial tissues (EUs). This enabled us to delineate alterations in cell composition and transcriptional dynamics across diverse cell types associated with endometrial polyps. Notably, we observed an increase and activation of mast cells, with significant transcriptional profile variations. Through transcription regulatory network analysis, WT1 was identified as a pivotal transcriptional regulator mediating mast cell proliferation in EPs, concomitant with the dysregulation of WT1 target genes involved in cell growth. These findings provide novel insights into the cellular heterogeneity and molecular mechanisms of endometrial polyps at single-cell resolution, presenting potential therapeutic targets for clinical intervention.
