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

Endometriosis affects a substantial number of women of reproductive age, yet current diagnostic methods rely on invasive procedures. To address this limitation, we investigated THBS1 as a potential biomarker and regulator of disease progression. Integrating bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data, we identified THBS1 as a gene enriched in ectopic endometrial tissues. Immunohistochemistry confirmed its elevated expression, while functional assays revealed that THBS1 promotes endometrial cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. In a subcutaneous xenograft model, THBS1 silencing by small interfering RNA suppressed ectopic lesion growth, demonstrating its functional relevance
