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

This study aims to investigate the expression of GPER in EC, assess the impact of estrogen on the proliferation and migration of EC via GPER, and examine the potential role of GPER in mediating the NOTCH pathway to influence EC proliferation and migration. The expression of GPER and its correlation with clinicopathological features were investigated using clinical data. Cell proliferation was assessed through MTT and EdU assays, while cell migration ability was evaluated using wound healing and transwell assays. Western blot analysis was conducted to detect proteins associated with the GPER and NOTCH signaling pathways. Additionally, xenograft tumor models were established to investigate the potential role of estrogen in mediating the NOTCH pathway via GPER. The results demonstrated a significant upregulation of GPER expression in EC, which was associated with clinical stage and metastasis. In vitro experiments provided evidence that estrogen promotes EC cell proliferation and metastasis by enhancing the expression levels of GPER, Notch1, and Hes-1 proteins. Conversely, knocking down or suppressing GPER effectively reverses these effects. Furthermore, treatment with JAG-1, an agonist for the NOTCH pathway, counteracts si-GPER's inhibitory impact on both proliferation and migration abilities of EC cells while increasing Notch1 and Hes-1 protein expression levels; however, it does not alter GPER expression. In vivo experiments have substantiated that estrogen facilitates EC proliferation via the GPER-mediated NOTCH pathway.
