Bioinformatics Identification of the Expression and Clinical Significance of E2F Family in Endometrial Cancer.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundBesides being one of the most prevalent cancers among women, incidence and mortality rates of endometrial cancer (EC) are still increasing. The E2F family of transcriptional factors is involved in cell differentiation, apoptosis, and inhibition of DNA damage response, thus affecting growth and invasion of tumor cells.
methodsWe used multiple bioinformatics tools to explore the role of E2F family in endometrial cancer.
resultsThe expression of E2F1/2/3/7/8 was significantly upregulated in endometrial cancer tissues, converse to E2F4, which was downregulated. Methylation downregulates all E2Fs except for E2F2. Accordingly, E2F1/2/3/5/7/8 are potential diagnostic biomarkers for EC. In particular, EC patients displaying upregulated E2F1, and E2F3 expression had a worse overall survival and relapse-free survival. E2F8, E2F7, and E2F1 were the top three, most-frequently altered genes in endometrial cancer. E2F family activates apoptosis pathways, regulates cell cycle, and impairs DNA damage response pathways. Drug-sensitivity analysis demonstrated that the level of E2F2/3/8 negatively correlated with drug resistance. Meanwhile, immune infiltrations analysis revealed that E2F family is associated with recruitment of several immune cells. Enrichment analysis on its part revealed that the E2F family is mainly associated with cell cycle, sequence-specific DNA binding, nuclear transcription factor complex, PI3K-Akt signaling, and p53 signaling pathway. We also identified multiple E2Fs-associated miRNA and kinase targets in endometrial cancer.
conclusionOur study revealed the unique expression signature and clinical significance of E2F family in EC, demonstrating the potential clinical utility of these transcription factors (TF) in endometrial cancer.
