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

Evidence from human and animal studies suggests that chronic behavioral stress and resulting activation of the sympathetic nervous system may influence initiation and progression of tumors. However, the underlying mechanisms for these observations are poorly understood. The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of adrenergic signaling on cell line models derived from normal cells presumed to originate epithelial ovarian cancers. Here we explored the effects of the stress-related hormone, norepinephrine, on the transcriptional program of normal immortalized ovarian (iOSE) and fallopian tube (iFTSEC) surface epithelial cells. Analysis of RNA-Seq data of treated and untreated cells revealed a significant overlap between the responses in iOSE and iFTSEC cells. Most genes modulated by norepinephrine in ovarian and fallopian tube epithelial cells are already expressed in normal ovarian and fallopian tissue and cells. For several genes, expression changes were reflected at the protein level. Genes in immune-related and developmental pathways were enriched in the set of genes modulated by norepinephrine. We identified HOXA5, SPIB, REL, SRF, SP1, NFKB1, MEF2A, E2F1, and EGR1 transcription factor binding sites to be highly enriched in our dataset. These data represent the early transcriptional response to norepinephrine in cells postulated to originate epithelial ovarian cancer.
