Identification of GPNMB in endometrial cancer based on pan-cancer analysis and in vitro validation.

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
backgroundGPNMB is a type I transmembrane protein, and emerging evidence supports the relationship between GPNMB and cancers.
objectiveThrough a comprehensive pan-cancer analysis, we examined the expression levels, prognostic significance, and mutation profiles of GPNMB in different cancer types. Subsequently, utilizing in vitro experiments, we elucidated the impact of GPNMB in endometrial cancer (EC).
methodsTIMER2, GEPIA2, UALCAN and cBioPortal were used to analyze the expression pattern, prognostic values, and mutation status of GPNMB. HEC-1B and Ishikawa cells were used to conduct in vitro analyses of GPNMB overexpression. GeneMANIA and TIMER2 were used to evaluate the potential functions and correlations between GPNMB expression and tumor-infiltrating immune cells in EC.
resultsGPNMB was found to be highly expressed in multiple cancers, where it was associated with poor prognosis. Additionally, GPNMB was downregulated at both mRNA and protein levels in EC. Overexpression of GPNMB inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HEC-1B and Ishikawa cells. Functional analysis showed that GPNMB was enriched in pathways associated with regulation of plasma lipoprotein particle levels. The expression of GPNMB was positively connected with B cell, CD8+ T cell, CD4+ T cell, Macrophage, Neutrophil, and Dendritic cell levels.
conclusionThrough pan-cancer analysis, we identified the antitumor effect of GPNMB in EC and predicted the potential mechanisms between GPNMB expression and EC.
