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

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) perform important functions in the regulation of diverse physiological and pathological processes. CircABHD2 exhibits down-regulation in both endometrial cancer (EC) cells and tissues, but the biological roles and mechanisms of action in EC are still unclear. This study aims to provide a theoretical basis for the role of circABHD2 in EC and potential targets for individualized precision therapy. Dysregulated circRNAs were identified using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) from EC tissues and validated using RT-qPCR. CCK-8, colony formation assay, wound healing assay, transwell assay, cell cycle, and apoptosis assay were used to evaluate the effects of circABHD2 on EC cells. Metabolomics assay and western blot analyses were used to investigate the potential mechanisms of circABHD2. From sequencing of RNA (RNA-Seq) analysis of EC tissues, we obtained 19 dysregulated circRNAs, including 8 upregulated ones and 11 downregulated ones. Using RT-qPCR on 32 EC tissues and 19 normal endometrial tissues, we confirmed that circABHD2 was downregulated in EC tissues. The expression levels of circABHD2 were closely relevant to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage and differentiation degree of EC. Functional experiments demonstrated that overexpression of circABHD2 decreased proliferation, migration, invasion, and promoted cell apoptosis. Un-targeted metabolomic assay revealed 31 differential metabolites in EC cells overexpressing circABHD2. KEGG analysis of differential metabolites indicated that NAD
