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

OCT4 (Octamer-binding transcription factor 4) is essential for embryonic stem cell self-renewal. Here we show that OCT4 increases the aggressiveness of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HG-SOC) by inactivating the Retinoblastoma tumor suppressor pathway and enhancing mitotic stability in cancer cells. OCT4 drives the expression of Nuclear Inhibitor of Protein Phosphatase type 1 (NIPP1) and Cyclin F (CCNF) that together inhibit Protein Phosphatase 1 (PP1). This results in pRB hyper-phosphorylation, accelerated cell proliferation and increased in vitro tumorigenicity of ovarian cancer cells. In parallel, OCT4 and NIPP1/CCNF drive the expression of the central Chromosomal Passenger Complex (CPC) components, Borealin, Survivin and the mitotic kinase Aurora B, promoting the clustering of supernumerary centrosomes to increase mitotic stability. Loss of OCT4 or NIPP1/CCNF results in severe mitotic defects, multipolar spindles and supernumerary centrosomes, finally leading to the induction of apoptosis. These phenotypes were recapitulated in different cancer models indicating general relevance for human cancer. Importantly, activation of these parallel pathways leads to dramatically reduced overall survival of HG-SOC patients. Altogether, our data highlights an unprecedented role for OCT4 as central regulator of mitotic fidelity and RB tumor suppressor pathway activity. Disrupting this pathway represents a promising strategy to target an aggressive subpopulation of HG-SOC cells.
