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

The present study aimed to investigate the role of 6‑phosphofructo‑2‑kinase/fructose‑2,6‑biphosphatase 4 (PFKFB4) in endometrial cancer cells and to explore its potential molecular mechanisms. PFKFB4 expression in endometrial cancer tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. Cell Counting Kit‑8, Transwell assays and flow cytometry were used to detect cell proliferation, invasion and apoptosis in endometrial cancer cells after PFKFB4 knockdown. An enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the glucose and lactic acid contents. Western blotting was performed to detect the levels of glycolysis‑related enzymes, steroid receptor coactivator‑3 (SRC‑3), and phosphorylated SRC‑3.
