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

Endometrial cancer (EC) patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) always have a poor prognosis. Estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) is known as the metabolic-related prognostic factor for EC. However, the mechanism linking glycolipid metabolism dysfunction mediated by ERRα to poor prognosis of EC with DM is still unclear. In vitro, high-glucose (HG) levels showed enhancement of ERRα expression, cell proliferation, and inhibition of the autophagic lysosomes and apoptosis by flow cytometry analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and CCK-8 assays. Mechanistically, lose-and-gain function assay, DNA sequencing, and CO-IP revealed HG increased ERRα expression to promote the transcription of HK2 and HMGCS1, which were the key rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis-cholesterol synthesis and their metabolites suppressed the autophagy-lysosomal pathway in an ERRα-dependent manner. Furthermore, CO-IP and molecular dynamics simulation uncovered the protein residues (ARG 769
