Deciphering the Molecular Crosstalk of Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Immune Infiltration in Endometriosis.
Article in American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundEndometriosis (EMs), characterized by ectopic endometrial growth causing infertility. Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is an important cellular defense mechanism. However, the correlation between ERS and EMs remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the relationship between them, identify biomarkers, and offer new insights into the treatment of EMs.
methodsTwo RNA expression datasets (GSE120103 and GSE25628) related to EMs in Homo sapiens were used to identify ERS-differentially expressed genes (ERS-DEGs). Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and CytoHubba (Cytoscape) identified ERS-associated HUB genes, with receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) evaluating diagnostic value. Constructed mRNA-microRNA (miRNA)/RNA-transcription factor (TF) interaction networks and performed ssGSEA to compare immune infiltration between EMs patients and controls. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), western blotting (WB), and immunohistochemistry (IHC) were performed to assess potential biomarker levels.
resultsThirty-three ERS-DEGs were identified, with nine HUB genes (HSPA5, XBP1, HSP90B1, DNAJC3, PDIA3, PDIA6, PDIA4, HERPUD1, and MANF) demonstrating diagnostic efficacy (AUC > 0.7). Furthermore, immune infiltration revealed a significant relationship between immune cell abundance and HUB gene expression. Experimental validation confirmed the consistency of four biomarkers (HSPA5, HSP90B1, PDIA6, and HERPUD1). Regulatory network analysis identified 62 miRNAs and 44 TFs interacting with HUB genes, suggesting a multifactorial immunometabolic axis.
conclusionsWe identified four biomarkers (HSPA5, HSP90B1, PDIA6, and HERPUD1) associated with ERS that offer new insights into the detection and treatment of EMs. Our findings indicate an abnormal response to ERS and immune system infiltration contribute to the progression of EMs.
