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.
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
As a crucial regulator influencing tumor progression, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is widely acknowledged. However, its role in endometrial cancer (EC) is not completely understood. In this study, we aimed to develop an NAD+metabolic-related genes (NMRGs) risk signature that could reflect the prognosis of EC patients and their responsiveness to immunotherapy and chemotherapy. Data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases and the Molecular Signatures Database (MSigDB) confirmed two distinct NMRG subtypes in EC patients using consensus clustering, and a risk score was constructed utilizing an NAD+-related prognostic signature depending on the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were employed to assess the model's precision. Additionally, we used Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) to predict the biological signaling pathways that might be involved. We also explored the role of the risk score in immune cell infiltration, tumor mutation burden (TMB), immunotherapy, and chemotherapy. Our study established a prognostic risk signature based on six NMRGs, and we observed that the high-risk group was associated with a poorer prognosis. Furthermore, we identified a strong correlation between the high-risk group and several pathways, including DNA replication, cell cycle, and mismatch repair. Lastly, our findings highlighted the influence of NMRGs on the regulation of immune infiltration in EC. Therefore, this signature holds potential value in predicting the prognosis of EC patients and guiding their management, including decisions regarding immunotherapy and chemotherapy, ultimately improving the accuracy of EC patient care.
