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) exhibits increasing incidence and mortality, necessitating novel prognostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets. This study systematically investigates EPHB2 as a potential biomarker through comprehensive bioinformatics (TIMER 2.0, Human Protein Atlas, Xanadu Academic Online, Sento Academic Online, TCGA, GeneMANIA, GSEA, BEST database, and SCAR database) and experimental analyses (si-EPHB2 and OE-EPHB2 RL95-2 cell models with RT-qPCR, western blot, CCK-8, wound healing, Transwell, and TUNEL assays). Our findings demonstrate that EPHB2 is significantly overexpressed in EC, correlating with advanced pathological grade, histological type, and poor prognosis, while its high expression activates PI3K/AKT/MAPK signaling and promotes proliferation, migration, invasion, and suppresses apoptosis; conversely, EPHB2 knockdown exhibits opposite effects, revealing its critical role in EC progression through immune modulation and oncogenic signaling activation, thereby establishing EPHB2 as a promising therapeutic target for EC treatment.
