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 is a complex chronic inflammatory disease with an unclear etiology and limited treatment options, severely affecting the reproductive health and quality of life of many women. Histone deacetylases (HDACs), as key epigenetic regulatory molecules, play a significant role in the pathogenesis and progression of endometriosis. This article reviews the abnormal expression of HDACs in endometriosis and their molecular mechanisms in driving the disease by regulating processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, inflammation, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). It also summarizes the therapeutic potential of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACis) such as Vorinostat, Romidepsin, and Butyrate demonstrated in preclinical studies, and analyzes the main challenges currently faced in clinical translation. Finally, this article discusses the challenges and future research directions for developing novel endometriosis therapies targeting HDACs, aiming to provide references for in-depth research and clinical translation in this field.
