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

Uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is one of the most common tumours of the female reproductive system. CCAAT enhancer-binding protein alpha (CEBPA) is a member of the transcription factor family involved in regulating processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, metabolism, and the immune response. However, the role of CEBPA in UCEC has not been clarified. Here, we performed a comprehensive analysis to explore the expression level, prognostic value, immune infiltration and biological function of CEBPA in UCEC. In this study, we found that CEBPA expression was upregulated and associated with poor prognosis in UCEC patients. KEGG and GO analyses revealed that the genes positively correlated with CEBPA were enriched primarily in immune regulation and oxidative phosphorylation. Immune infiltration analysis revealed that CEBPA is strongly correlated with immune cell infiltration in UCEC. RT-qPCR indicated that CEBPA may regulate the OXPHOS level in Ishikawa cells. CCK-8, cell cycle, Transwell and scratch wound healing assays revealed that CEBPA promoted Ishikawa cell proliferation, invasion and migration. In addition, PPI and survival analyses suggested that CEBPG may be a potential target of CEBPA in UCEC. These results demonstrated that CEBPA may be a potential therapeutic target in UCEC.
