Changes in Epithelial Cell Polarity and Adhesion Guide Human Endometrial Receptivity: How In Vitro Systems Help to Untangle Mechanistic Details.
Review in Biomolecules, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Tissue remodeling of human endometrium occurs during the menstrual cycle to prepare for embryo adhesion and invasion. The ovarian steroid hormones 17β-estradiol and progesterone control the menstrual cycle to achieve the receptive state during the "window of implantation" (WOI). Here, we focus on the human endometrial epithelium and its changes in polarity, adhesion, cytoskeletal organization and the underlying extracellular matrix enabling embryo implantation. The adhesion and invasion of the trophoblast via the apical plasma membrane of epithelial cells is a unique cell biological process, which is coupled to partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Given the fundamental species differences during implantation, we restrict the review mainly to the human situation and focus on cell culture systems to study the interaction between human trophoblast and endometrial cells. We summarize current knowledge based on the relatively scarce in vivo data and the steadily growing in vitro observations using various cell culture systems.
