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

Background: Uterine corpus endometrial cancer (UCEC) is a prevalent gynecological malignancy. REST corepressor 2 (RCOR2), a nuclear transcription co-repressor, has been implicated in various cellular processes. However, its regulatory role in UCEC progression remains unclear. Methods: RCOR2 expression levels were analyzed in UCEC tissues and cell lines using qPCR, Western blotting. Functional assays, including CCK8 and colony formation assays, were used to assess the impact of RCOR2 knockdown or overexpression on UCEC cell viability and proliferation. Results: RCOR2 expression was significantly elevated in UCEC tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. High RCOR2 expression correlated with advanced clinical stage, high histologic grade, and lymph node metastasis. ROC analysis indicated strong diagnostic value. RCOR2 expression showed a positive correlation with proliferation-related genes MKI67, CCND1, and PCNA. Functional assays revealed that RCOR2 knockdown suppressed, while overexpression promoted, proliferation of endometrial cancer cells. These effects were validated by CCK8 and colony formation assays, as well as changes in mRNA and protein levels of MKI67, CCND1, and PCNA, supporting RCOR2's role in regulating UCEC cell proliferation. Conclusions: These findings suggest that RCOR2 promotes endometrial cancer progression by enhancing tumor cell proliferation and may serve as a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target in UCEC.
