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

Endometriosis (EMs) affects the physical and mental health of a wide range of women of childbearing age. Exploring specific diagnostic targets and screening potential therapeutic drugs will help early diagnosis and improve prognosis. The diagnostic and therapeutic potential of ETS homologous factor (EHF) and Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) remains to be explored. Based on RNA sequencing of GEO datasets and local clinical samples, LASSO and SVM-RFE machine learning algorithms were used to screen out the key gene (EHF). Explore the expression level of EHF and its effects on the malignant biological behavior and regulatory mechanism of endometriosis cells (12z). Based on the positive and negative correlation genes of EHF, cMap analysis and molecular docking were performed to screen out the potential therapeutic drug (GLA). Explore the therapeutic effects of GLA on endometriosis in vivo and in vitro. EHF was abnormally low in endometriosis tissues and cells. Overexpression of EHF could inhibit malignant phenotypes such as cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis, and inhibit the PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis, leading to cell cycle arrest and inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). GLA could play a potential therapeutic role in vivo and in vitro with low normal cell toxicity. EHF is a potential protective gene for endometriosis, and its overexpression could inhibit the malignant biological phenotype, cell cycle and EMT by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis. GLA screened based on EHF could be used as a potential therapeutic drug to play a therapeutic role in vitro and in vivo. This study screened and validated specific diagnostic targets (EHF) and potential therapeutic drugs (GLA) for endometriosis based on clinical tissue sample tissue, cells, RNA sequencing, in vivo and in vitro experiments to assist in the early diagnosis and prognosis improvement of EMs.
