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

Previous studies have demonstrated that calpain small subunit 4 (Capn4) is able to regulate the viability and metastasis of cancer cells. However, the regulatory effects and underlying molecular mechanism of Capn4 in ovarian carcinoma cells are not well understood. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of Capn4 in ovarian carcinoma cells and analyze the possible mechanism mediated by Capn4. The expression levels of Capn4 and osteopontin (OPN) were determined and the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway was analyzed in ovarian carcinoma cells. The results of the present study revealed that Capn4 and OPN were overexpressed in clinical ovarian carcinoma tissues and ovarian carcinoma cells. Capn4 silencing downregulated OPN expression, and suppressed ovarian carcinoma cell viability and migration. Capn4 silencing enhanced apoptosis of ovarian carcinoma cells by increasing activity of the capase-3 apoptosis signaling pathway. Capn4 promoted the metastasis of ovarian carcinoma cells by interacting with the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway via upregulation of OPN expression. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate that Capn4 may be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of ovarian carcinoma.
