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

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal of all gynecological cancers. Most deaths from ovarian cancer are due to widespread intraperitoneal metastases and malignant ascites. However, mechanisms of invasion in ovarian cancer remain poorly understood. In this study, we examined the effects of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-I (the classical mammalian GnRH), GnRH-II (a second form of GnRH), and GnRH receptor on invasion using two human ovarian carcinoma cell lines, OVCAR-3 and SKOV-3. Here we demonstrated that in OVCAR-3, GnRH-I and GnRH-II promoted cell invasion, whereas in SKOV-3, GnRH-I and GnRH-II inhibited cell invasion. Transfection of small interfering RNA to abrogate the gene expression of GnRH receptor reversed GnRH-I and GnRH-II-mediated invasion activities, suggesting that the same receptor, type I GnRH receptor, is essential for the effects of GnRH-I and GnRH-II in both OVCAR-3 and SKOV-3. Treatment of SKOV-3 cells with GnRH-I or GnRH-II resulted in a decrease in matrix metalloproteinase 2 but an increase in tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 2 secretions. In addition, we found that GnRH-I and GnRH-II interfered with activation of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/AKT pathway that is well documented to stimulate proteolysis and invasion of ovarian cancer cells. Taken together, these observations suggest that GnRH-I and GnRH-II play key regulatory roles in ovarian tumor cell invasion and extracellular matrix degradation.
