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 the most lethal gynecological malignancy because of its poor prognosis. The Warburg effect is one of the key mechanisms mediating cancer progression. Molecules targeting the Warburg effect are therefore of significant therapeutic value for the treatment of cancers. Many microRNAs (miR) are dysregulated in cancers, and aberrant miR expression patterns have been suggested to correlate with the Warburg effect in cancer cells. In our study, we found that miR-145 negatively correlated with DNA methyltransferase (DNMT)3A expression at cellular/histological levels. miR-145 inhibited the Warburg effect by targeting HK2. Luciferase reporter assays confirmed that miR-145-mediated downregulation of DNMT3A occurred through direct targeting of its mRNA 3'-UTRs, whereas methylation-specific PCR (MSP) assays found that knockdown of DNMT3A increased mRNA level of miR-145 and decreased methylation levels of promoter regions in the miR-145 precursor gene, thus suggesting a crucial crosstalk between miR-145 and DNMT3A by a double-negative feedback loop. DNMT3A promoted the Warburg effect through miR-145. Coimmunoprecipitation assays confirmed no direct binding between DNMT3A and HK2. In conclusion, a feedback loop between miR-145 and DNMT3A is a potent signature for the Warburg effect in ovarian cancer, promising a potential target for improved anticancer treatment.
