CADM2 participates in endometriosis development by influencing the epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

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
Endometriosis (EM) is a common gynecologic condition that often leads to infertility in women of reproductive age. Cell adhesion molecule 2 (CADM2) is involved in maintaining cell adhesion and polarity, as well as suppressing tumors. However, the role and mechanism of CADM2 in endometriosis is unclear. Therefore, this study evaluated the expression levels of CADM2 and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related marker proteins (E-cadherin, α-SMA, and N-cadherin). Compared to normal endometrial tissue, CADM2 was expressed at low levels in ectopic endometrial tissue from patients with EM. We performed clone formation assays, wound healing assays, and Transwell cell invasion assays to investigate the effects of CADM2 on the biological behavior of endometriosis epithelial cells (11Z) and ectopic endometrial stromal cells (EESCs). The growth, migration, and invasion abilities of these cells were significantly inhibited by overexpression of CADM2. The results were reversed after the knockdown of CADM2. Finally, western blotting (WB) was utilized to detect the effect of CADM2 on EMT in endometriosis cells. CADM2 inhibited EMT in endometriosis cells. In conclusion, our study suggests that CADM2 is a negative regulator of endometriosis development and may inhibit endometriosis development by suppressing EMT.
