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

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common malignant gynecological cancers. Although conventional chemotherapies have improved the treatment of patients with ovarian cancer, the mortality rate remains high. Hence, it is crucial that the detailed mechanisms that promote ovarian cancer are urgently identified. Therefore, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to reveal the relative transcript levels. Colony formation assay and cell cycle assay were performed in siRNA-treated cells. Transwell assay and western blot assays were also conducted. The results showed that the expression of long non-coding RNA SRY-box 2 overlapping transcript (SOX2OT) was upregulated in clinical ovarian cancer tissues and in cultured ovarian cancer cells (HO-8910 and HO-8910PM). High expression of SOX2OT negatively correlated with the prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer. Knockdown of SOX2OT by specific small interfering RNA against SOX2OT suppressed the colony formation capacity of invasive ovarian cancer cells and resulted in cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase. Key cell cycle regulators, cyclin B1 and cell division cycle 25C, were consistently downregulated by the knockdown of SOX2OT. Furthermore, knockdown of SOX2O Tinhibited cell migration, cell invasion and decreased the expression of mesenchymal protein N-cadherin, whereas the expression of epithelial protein E-cadherin was increased in ovarian cancer cells. Overall, SOX2OT expression levels correlated with the prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer, and SOX2OT promoted cell proliferation and motility in ovarian cancer cells. These findings indicated that SOX2OT may serve as a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of ovarian cancer.
