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

Long non-coding RNA RAD51 antisense RNA 1 (RAD51-AS1, also known as TODRA) has been shown to be down-regulated by E2F1, a key cell cycle and apoptosis regulator, in breast cancer. Little is known regarding the role of RAD51-AS1 in disease. Here, we investigate the role of RAD51-AS1 in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Using luciferase reporter and chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments, we verified RAD51-AS1 as a target of E2F1 under negative regulation in EOC. We then examined RAD51-AS1 expression in EOC samples using in situ hybridization (ISH). RAD51-AS1 was localized to the nucleus and found to be a critical marker for clinical features that significantly correlated with poor survival in EOC patients. RAD51-AS1 was also an independent prognostic factor for EOC. Overexpression of RAD51-AS1 promoted EOC cell proliferation, while silencing of RAD51-AS1 inhibited EOC cell proliferation, delayed cell cycle progression and promoted apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. RAD51-AS1 may participate in carcinogenesis via regulation of p53 and p53-related genes. Our study highlights the role of RAD51-AS1 as a prognostic marker of EOC. Based on its regulation of the tumor suppressor p53, RAD51-AS1-based therapy may represent a viable therapeutic option for EOC in the near future.
