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

Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1β (HNF-1β) is a transcriptional factor that has an important role in endometriosis-ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) sequence by modulating cell kinetics and glucose metabolism. However, little is known about the detailed molecular mechanisms that govern its regulation and function. Herein, we focus on upstream and downstream regulatory factors of HNF-1β in OCCCs. In clinical samples, HNF-1β expression was positively correlated with the active form of NF-κB/p65 in OCCCs, and closely linked with a low nuclear grade and non-solid architecture. In cell lines, transfection of p65 resulted in increased HNF-1β mRNA and protein expression in TOV-21G cells (OCCC cell line with endogenous HNF-1β expression), in line with activation of the promoter, probably through interacting with the basic transcriptional machinery. Suppression of endogenous HNF-1β expression by siRNA increased apoptosis in TOV-21G cells, while treatment of Hec251 cells (endometrial carcinoma cell line with extremely low endogenous HNF-1β expression) stably overexpressing exogenous HNF-1β with doxorubicin abrogated apoptosis of the cells, along with increased ratio of bcl-2 relative to bax. Moreover, overexpression of HNF-1β led to upregulation of bcl-2 expression at the transcriptional level in TOV-21G cells, which provided evidence for a positive correlation between HNF-1β and bcl-2 expression in OCCCs. These data, therefore, suggest that association between HNF-1β and NF-κB signaling may participate in cell survival by alteration of apoptotic events, particularly in mitochondria-mediated pathways, through upregulation of bcl-2 expression in OCCCs.
