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

purpose14-3-3ζregulates cell signaling, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis, and its overexpression is associated with disease recurrence and poor clinical outcomes in some solid tumors. However, its clinicopathological role in ovarian cancer is unknown. Our goal was to investigate whether 14-3-3ζis associated with ovarian cancer prognosis. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe examined 14-3-3ζexpression by immunohistochemistry in ovarian cancer tissues obtained from 88 ovarian cancer patients. The examined tissues were of various histologies and stages. 14-3-3ζexpression was also analyzed by western blot in seven ovarian cancer cell lines and a primary ovary epithelial cell line. Cell viability was measured using an MTS-based assay following cisplatin treatment.

resultsAmong the ovarian cancer samples, 53.4% (47/88) showed high 14-3-3ζexpression, and 14-3-3ζoverexpression was positively correlated with more advanced pathologic stages and grades. 14-3-3ζoverexpression was also significantly associated with poor disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of ovarian cancer patients. Median DFS and OS were 1088 and 3905 days, respectively, in the high 14-3-3ζexpression group, but not reached in the low 14-3-3ζexpression group (p=0.004 and p=0.033, log-rank test, respectively). Downregulating 14-3-3ζby RNA interference in ovarian cancer cells led to enhanced sensitivity to cisplatin-induced cell death.

conclusion14-3-3ζoverexpression might be a potential prognostic biomarker for ovarian cancer, and the inhibition of 14-3-3ζcould be a therapeutic option that enhances the antitumor activity of cisplatin.
