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 one of the most common gynecologic malignancies, with increasing evidence suggesting the involvement of immune-related processes rather than direct immune evasion mechanisms in its progression. However, effective immune-related biomarkers for prognostic evaluation and therapeutic targeting remain limited. This study aimed to identify novel immune-associated molecules based on clinical endometrial cancer specimens using integrated proteomic and bioinformatic approaches. Proteomic analysis was performed on tumor and adjacent normal tissues from endometrial cancer patients. Differentially expressed proteins were screened and further analyzed through transcriptomic validation, survival analysis, immune infiltration assessment, and pathway enrichment to explore their clinical relevance and potential functional roles in the tumor immune microenvironment. IMPDH1 was identified as a significantly upregulated protein in endometrial cancer and was associated with unfavorable prognosis. High expression of IMPDH1 was correlated with reduced CD8⁺ T cell infiltration and features of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Functional enrichment suggested its involvement in purine metabolism and a potential role in immune-related processes. This study identifies IMPDH1 as a novel immune-related biomarker in endometrial cancer, with potential value for prognosis and immunotherapy.
