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

Mare endometrosis is a chronic degenerative condition of the endometrium, primarily characterized by fibrosis, involving interactions among fibroblasts, immune cells, and epithelial cells regulated by cytokines and growth factors. T helper (Th)1 and Th2 cells seem to play a pivotal role in fibrosis. However, their roles in equine endometrial fibrosis remain unknown. This study explores Th1 and Th2 cell distribution across different stages of endometrium histopathological Kenney and Doig categories; and evaluated their secretome effects on non-fibrotic endometrium derived fibroblast functional characteristics, extracellular matrix (ECM)-associated mRNA transcription, and transcriptomic profiles. Th1 and Th2 cells, along with cytokines (IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-13) and their receptors, were present in mare endometria at all endometrium stages. Th1 secretome influenced genes enriched in metabolism, cell cycle, and ECM-related pathways, while Th2 secretome regulated genes enriched in tissue remodeling and signaling pathways, suggesting their role in the development of fibrosis in the endometrosis progression.
