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

backgroundChemoresistance is one of the major obstacles for cancer therapy in the clinic. Nuclear paraspeckle assembly transcript 1 (NEAT1) has been reported as an oncogene in most malignancies such as lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and gastric cancer. This study is designed to investigate the function of NEAT1 in paclitaxel (PTX) resistance of ovarian cancer and its potential molecular mechanism. PATIENTS AND

methodsThe expressions of NEAT1 and miR-194 in ovarian cancer tissues and cells were estimated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). MTT, flow cytometry, and Western blot assays were used to assess the effect of NEAT1 on PTX resistance in PTX-resistant ovarian cancer cells. Luciferase reporter assay was applied to examine the association between NEAT1, zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) and miR-194. Xenograft tumor model was established to confirm the biological role of NEAT1 in PTX resistance of ovarian cancer in vivo.

resultsNEAT1 was upregulated, and miR-194 was downregulated in PTX-resistant ovarian cancer tissues and cells. Functionally, NEAT1 knockdown enhanced cell sensitivity to PTX via promoting PTX-induced apoptosis in vitro. NEAT1 was identified as a molecular sponge of miR-194 to upregulate ZEB1 expression. Mechanistically, NEAT1-knockdown-induced PTX sensitivity was mediated by miR-194/ZEB1 axis. Moreover, NEAT1 knockdown improved PTX sensitivity of ovarian cancer in vivo.

conclusionNEAT1 contributed to PTX resistance of ovarian cancer cells at least partly through upregulating ZEB1 expression by sponging miR-194, elucidating a novel regulatory pathway of chemoresistance in PTX-resistant ovarian cancer cells and providing a possible long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)-targeted therapy for ovarian cancer.
