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

Emerging evidence suggests that the members of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family play a crucial role in cancer development and progression. The purpose of the study was to explore TRIM52's role in tumorigenesis and its potential molecular mechanism in ovarian cancer. The study demonstrated that knockdown of TRIM52 in SKOV3 and CAOV3 cells inhibited ovarian cancer cell invasion, migration, and proliferation, and induced cell apoptosis. On the contrary, overexpression of TRIM52 in HO8910 cells showed contrary results. Further, overexpression of TRIM52 enhanced the expression of phosphorylated IKKβ and IKBα proteins and nuclear protein P65, which implied the activation of NF-kB signal pathway. Knockdown of TRIM52 downregulated the mRNA and protein levels of NF-kB signal downstream effectors of the NF-kB pathway, including MMP9, Bcl2, IL8, and TNFα, but upregulated caspase-3 expression. These results suggested that activation of the NF-kB pathway is involved in TRIM52-mediated regulation in ovarian cancer. The nude mice study further confirmed that knockdown of TRIM52 blocked tumor growth, inhibited cell proliferation, and promoted cell apoptosis. Our data strongly suggested that TRIM52 plays an oncogenic role in ovarian cancer development associated with the NF-kB signal pathway and may be a potential target for cancer therapy.
