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 (OC) has the highest fatality rates of all gynecological malignancies worldwide. The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) serves an essential role in the progression of OC. An improved understanding of the molecular mechanism underlying EMT in OC may increase the survival rate. ATP-binding cassette transporter A7 (ABCA7) is a candidate regulator of OC progression. However, the role of ABCA7 in OC is unclear. Using the PROGgeneV2 platform, the present study revealed that increased expression of ABCA7 is associated with poor outcomes in OC. The expression of ABCA7 was higher in OC tissues than in adjacent noncancerous tissues. ABCA7-knockdown decreased the migration of OC cells and the activation of mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4 (SMAD4). Notably, downregulation of ABCA7 also increased the expression of an epithelial marker (E-cadherin) and decreased that of a mesenchymal marker (N-cadherin). In addition, the decreased expression of SMAD4 and EMT markers induced by ABCA7 depletion could be rescued by transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) stimulation. Overall, these findings suggested that ABCA7 accelerates EMT in OC by upregulating the TGF-β signaling pathway.
