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

Introduction: Radiation therapy is crucial in the treatment of endometrial cancer (UCEC). Patients exhibit significant variability in radiosensitivity, affecting therapeutic effect. Scarcity of studies exploring the gene-radiosensitivity relationship based on clinical data. Underlying molecular mechanisms of radiosensitivity and radioresistance require further investigation. Methods: Study aimed to reveal molecular mechanisms underlying radiosensitivity and radioresistance in UCEC patients. Included 12 radiosensitive and 20 radioresistant UCEC samples. Conducted differential expression analysis to screen for significantly different genes between groups. Applied Lasso regression and randomized survival forest model to identify key genes. Performed functional annotation, correlation analysis, and survival analysis on key genes. Results: Key genes positively correlated with UCEC tumorigenesis-related genes in the radioresistant group. Reduction in the proportion of Macrophages.M0 observed in the radioresistant group, associated with poor prognosis. GO and GSVA analyses revealed biological processes and signaling pathways involved in key genes. High expression of MARCKS, MACC1, and GRB10 correlated with poorer survival rates. High expression of NINJ2 correlated with higher survival rates and higher sensitivity to radiation therapy. Discussion: Study contributes to a deeper understanding of UCEC radiosensitivity. Provides theoretical support for the development of personalized radiotherapy regimens in clinical practice. Potential to improve prognosis and quality of life of patients.
