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

backgroundAberrant expression of long non-coding RNAs is involved in the progression of ovarian cancer. However, the clinical significance and biological functions of SNHG3 expression was little known in ovarian cancer (OC).

methodsThe SNHG3 expression in ovarian cancer tissues and paired adjacent normal tissues was detected using quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Gain-of function and loss-of function assays were performed in ovarian cancer cells to demonstrate the effects of SNHG3 expression on cell proliferation and invasion. The relative protein expression levels were determined using western blot analyses.

resultsThe expression of SNHG3 was significantly up-regulated in ovarian cancer tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues. Higher SNHG3 expression levels positively associated with FIGO stage, lymph node metastasis, and poor prognosis of ovarian cancer patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis implied that FIGO stage, lymph node metastasis, higher SNHG3 expression were independent prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) rate in ovarian cancer patients. Gain-of function and loss-of function assays demonstrated that SNHG3 knockdown inhibited ovarian cancer cell proliferation and invasion abilities. However, SNHG3 overexpression promoted ovarian cancer cell proliferation and invasion abilities. Furthermore, cell proliferation and invasion related protein CyclinD1, CDK1, MMP9 and MMP3 were significantly downregulated after SNHG3 knockdown in ovarian cancer cells, while SNHG3 overexpression had reverse effects. In addition, SNHG3 functioned as an oncogene by regulating GSK3β/β-catenin signaling activity in ovarian cancer.

conclusionsTaken together, our data provide that SNHG3 has potential clinical value of and may serve as target of ovarian cancer treatment.
