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

Objective: Endometrial cancer (EC) is one of the most common gynecological malignancies, and it poses a considerable threat to women's lives. Therefore, searching for EC inhibitors and exploring the potential mechanism of action is particularly important. This article aims to investigate the potential effect of collagen type XII α1 chain (COL12A1) on macrophage polarization and its subsequent influence on the biological behavior of EC cells to further elucidate the underlying mechanisms of EC development. Material and Methods: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were used to detect the expression levels of COL12A1 messenger RNA and protein in EC cells. A subcutaneous tumor formation assay was performed in nude mice to evaluate the effect of COL12A1 on EC cell growth Results: The expression of COL12A1 was upregulated in EC cells. Knockdown of COL12A1 significantly inhibited the viability, invasion, migration, and extracellular matrix abilities of EC cells and tumor growth Conclusion: The expression of COL12A1 is upregulated in EC, and COL12A1 promotes EC cell invasion and migration by activating macrophage M2 polarization.
