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

Studies have indicated that RAB17 expression levels are associated with tumor malignancy, and RAB17 is more highly expressed in endometrial cancer (EC) tissues than in peritumoral tissues. However, the roles and potential mechanisms of RAB17 in EC remain undefined. The present study confirmed that the expression of RAB17 facilitates EC progression by suppressing cellular ferroptosis-like alterations. Mechanistically, RAB17 attenuated ferroptosis in EC cells by inhibiting transferrin receptor (TFRC) protein expression in a ubiquitin proteasome-dependent manner. Because EC is a blood-deprived tumor with a poor energy supply, the relationship between RAB17 and hypoglycemia was investigated. RAB17 expression was increased in EC cells incubated in low-glucose medium. Moreover, low-glucose medium limited EC cell ferroptosis and promoted EC progression through the RAB17-TFRC axis. The in vitro results were corroborated by in vivo studies and clinical data. Overall, the present study revealed that increased RAB17 promotes the survival of EC cells during glucose deprivation by inhibiting the onset of TFRC-dependent ferroptosis.
