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 one of the greatest causes of cancer death in women. The association of TMEM49 and ovarian cancer is poorly defined. Here, we reported that TMEM49 was significantly increased in ovarian tumor tissues compared to ovarian normal tissues. Furthermore, down-regulation of TMEM49 through RNA interference inhibited cell proliferation and arrested G1/S transition in two ovarian cancer cell lines, OVCAR3 and A2780. More importantly, TMEM49 silencing induced cell apoptosis. Additionally, down-regulation of TMEM49 in ovarian cancer notably repressed cell invasion and adhesion. Further gene set enrichment analysis suggested that apoptosis and metastasis up related signal pathways were associated with the TMEM49 expression. Western blot revealed that the expression of Caspase3, Bad, and Bax were increased, while expression of MMP2, KLF10, and CXCL12 were reduced by TMEM49 knockdown. Since expression of TMEM49 seems to be associated with the apoptosis and metastasis up signaling pathways of ovarian cancer, and suppression of its expression can inhibit cancer cell growth and metastasis, TMEM49 may be a potential therapeutic target in human ovarian cancer.
