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

One cut homeobox 2 (ONECUT2 or OC-2) is a newly discovered transcription factor. Aberrant expression of OC-2 is closely related to cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis. In this study, we found that OC-2 expression was upregulated in ovarian adenocarcinoma cells, by Western blot analysis. The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of OC-2 was also increased in malignant ovarian cancer tissue. In order to explore the role of OC-2 in the development of ovarian cancer, siRNAs that specifically targets OC-2 were designed. The siRNA targeting OC-2 could effectively inhibit the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) expression, but silence and overexpression of VEGFA did not affect OC-2 expression. In addition, OC2-siRNA could block the proliferation, migration, and invasion, and inhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition and the AKT/ERK signaling pathway, of human ovarian cancer cells in vitro. In a mouse model of ovarian cancer xenograft tumors, OC2-siRNA could significantly inhibit tumor cell growth and the tumor inhibition rate reached approximately 73%. The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the densities of microvessels stained with CD31, the expression of OC-2 and VEGFA were significantly decreased in tumors. These data indicated that OC-2 was an upstream regulator of VEGFA and silencing OC-2 could inhibit ovarian cancer angiogenesis and tumor growth.
