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
Background: The incidence and mortality of uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is increasing. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, the fundamental molecular mechanisms remain unclear to some extent. In this study, the role and clinical significance of Cyclin D2 (CCND2) in UCEC is discussed and explored. Methods: The Infinium Methylation EPIC v2.0 BeadChip (935K chip) was utilized to analyze genomic DNA samples from four UCEC patients and four matched controls. Differentially methylated positions (DMPs) were identified, leading to the selection of the CCND2 gene as a candidate gene. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was employed to validate the effects of CCND2 on UCEC. An analysis was conducted using the UALCAN and GSCA databases to compare the expression and methylation levels of the CCND2 gene promoter region between UCEC and adjacent normal tissues, as well as to explore the relationship between CCND2 expression and the methylation level of its gene promoter region. Subsequently, Cox regression and ROC analysis were performed with R software. Results: Through 935K chip detection, a total of 87,182 DMPs were identified in the whole genome of two groups. CCND2 was selected for further functional analysis. IHC results revealed that the positive expression of CCND2 in UCEC was significantly lower than in normal endometrial tissue (P < 0.05). TCGA datasets were analyzed to explore differential patterns involving mRNA and DNA methylation features associated with CCND2. The findings demonstrated a significant increase in the methylation level of CCND2 (P < 0.001), and a significant reduction in its mRNA expression (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the methylation level of the CCND2 gene promoter region exhibited a negative correlation with its mRNA expression (Cor. = -0.18, FDR = 0.018). Results from ROC analysis and survival analysis indicated that CCND2 expression was a prognostic indicator for UCEC (AUC = 0.956), with better survival in the high expression group (P = 0.0466). Conclusion: The study shows that UCEC has significantly abnormal DNA methylation patterns and expression profiles. Hypermethylation of the CCND2 promoter may reduce CCND2 expression and participate in tumor occurrence and development in UCEC. Hence, CCND2 shows promise as a potential biomarker for diagnosing and prognosticating UCEC.
