Cell Migration in Endometriosis Responds to Omentum-Derived Molecular Cues Similar to Ovarian Cancer.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 is common and poses significant morbidity of lasting impact to young, pre-menopausal women, while ovarian cancer is a lethal gynecologic condition. Both conditions need better treatment. The human omentum is an apron of adipose tissue in the abdominopelvic cavity, the same space in which endometriosis and ovarian cancer manifest. We aim to determine molecular cues emitted by the omentum that aid the trans-coelomic spread of endometriosis and ovarian cancer in the abdomen-pelvic/peritoneal space. Endometriosis and ovarian cancer patients were prospectively recruited. Primary cell cultures of surgically-resected omentum, endometriosis and ovarian cancer were generated, and conditioned media (CM) from the omentum was derived. They were used for in vitro assays to evaluate the effect of the omentum on cell migration, angiogenesis and proliferation in endometriosis and ovarian cancer. Omental CM promoted cell migration in primary cultures of endometriosis and ovarian cancer. Omental CM contained high levels of HGF, SDF-1a, MCP-1, VEGF-A, IL-6 and IL-8. The observed cell migration was blocked by c-MET inhibition, suggesting that HGF/c-MET signaling mediates cell migration in endometriosis and ovarian cancer. Furthermore, PTTG1 was consistently upregulated in the migrated cells in both endometriosis and ovarian cancer. The omentum provides a favorable environment for trans-coelomic spread of endometriosis and ovarian cancer. HGF, c-MET and PTTG1 are potential therapeutic targets for inhibiting the abdomen-pelvic/peritoneal spread of endometriosis and ovarian cancer.
