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

Epithelial ovarian cancer is one of the most common and aggressive diseases among the female reproductive organ malignancies, and the molecular mechanism underlying this disease remains largely unknown. EMSY, a binding partner of BRCA2, has been reported to be amplified in ovarian cancer. However, the expression pattern and biological functions of EMSY in the progression of ovarian cancer are not fully understood. In this study, it was found that the expression of EMSY was significantly elevated in ovarian cancer samples compared to their adjacent normal tissues. Moreover, overexpression of EMSY promoted the growth and migration of ovarian cancer cells, while knocking down the expression of EMSY inhibited the growth, migration, and tumorigenesis of ovarian cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, EMSY was found to interact with beta-catenin and activate beta-catenin/TCF signaling. Our study demonstrated that EMSY played an oncogenic role in the progression of ovarian cancer cells and EMSY might be a promising target for the treatment.
