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

backgroundOvarian cancer is one of the most common malignant gynecological cancers. Higher expression of AURKA has been found in immortalized human ovarian epithelial cells in previous studies, implying the relationship between AURKA and ovarian cancer pathogenesis.

aimWe investigated the effect of AURKA on angiogenesis and tumorigenesis of human ovarian cancer cells.

methodsFirstly, the expression of AURKA in HO8910 and SKOV3 ovarian cancer cell lines was knocked down using a vector expressing a short hairpin small interfering RNA (shRNA). Next, the effect of knockdown of AURKA on cell angiogenesis, proliferation, migration, and invasion was determined by microtubule formation assay, proliferation assay, transwell migration, and invasion assays. In addition, the effect of AURKA knockdown on angiogenesis and tumorigenesis was also determined in a chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model and in nude mice.

resultsThe results of the microtubule formation assay indicated that knockdown of AURKA significantly inhibited ovarian cancer cell-induced angiogenesis of endothelial cells compared to its control (P < 0.001). Knockdown of AURKA also significantly inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion of HO8910 and SKOV3 cells in vitro. Furthermore, the Matrigel plug assay showed that knockdown of AURKA significantly repressed ovarian cancer cell-induced angiogenesis in nude mice (P < 0.05), and the CAMs model also showed that AURKA knockdown significantly attenuated the angiogenesis (P < 0.001) and tumorigenesis (P < 0.001) of HO8910 cells compared to the control. Finally, the tumorigenicity assay in vivo further indicated that AURKA shRNA reduced tumorigenesis in nude mice inoculated with ovarian cancer cells (P < 0.001).

conclusionsThese results suggest the potential role of AURKA in angiogenesis and tumorigenesis of ovarian cancer, which may provide a potential therapeutic target for the disease.
