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 is a common malignancy of the female reproductive system and poses a significant threat to women's health. Fatty acid binding protein 7 (FABP7) plays a key role in regulating lipid metabolism, signal transduction, and gene expression, and has been implicated in the progression of various cancers. However, its role in endometrial cancer remains unclear. The mRNA and protein expression levels were assessed by RT-qPCR and western blot analysis. Cell proliferation was evaluated using the CCK-8 and colony formation assays. Cell migration and invasion were assessed through wound healing and Transwell assays, while cancer stemness was evaluated using the sphere formation assay. FABP7 was found to be highly expressed in endometrial cancer cells. Knockdown of FABP7 significantly suppressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Furthermore, FABP7 silencing reduced stemness capacity, as evidenced by diminished sphere-forming ability. Mechanistically, downregulation of FABP7 led to inhibition of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. This study demonstrates that FABP7 can promote cell migration and stemness in endometrial cancer by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, supporting FABP7 as a potential therapeutic target for the clinical management of endometrial cancer.
