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

backgroundEndometriosis (EMS) is a difficult gynecological disease to cure. Frizzled-7 (FZD7) has been shown to be associated with the development of EMS, but its specific mechanism remains unclarified. This study aims to explore the role of FZD7 in EMS.

methodsRT-qPCR and western blot were used to detect the expression level of FZD7 in human endometrial stromal cells (hESCs) and human ectopic endometrial stromal cell line hEM15A. The interfering plasmid of FZD7 was established. CCK-8, EdU, wound healing, transwell invasion, and cytoskeletal staining assays were applied to evaluate the role of FZD7 silencing in hEM15A cell proliferation, invasion, and migration. Tube forming ability of cells was evaluated by tube formation assay. Cellular VEGF, GSH, and MDA levels were measure by kits. Intracellular lipid ROS and Fe

resultsFZD7 was upregulated in hEM15A cells, and silencing of FZD7 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis abilities. Downregulation of FZD7 decreased cellular GSH level and elevated MDA level. Knockdown of FZD7 also caused an increase in intracellular ROS and Fe

conclusionThe above indices suggest that FZD7 knockdown regulates endometriotic cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and angiogenesis via ferroptosis.
