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

backgroundProgesterone resistance is a problem in endometrial carcinoma, and its underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. The aim of this study was to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of progesterone resistance and to identify the key genes and pathways mediating progesterone resistance in endometrial cancer using bioinformatics analysis.

methodsWe developed a stable MPA (medroxyprogesterone acetate)-resistant endometrial cancer cell subline named IshikawaPR. Microarray analysis was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) from triplicate samples of Ishikawa and IshikawaPR cells. PANTHER, DAVID and Metascape were used to perform gene ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis, and cBioPortal for progesterone receptor (PGR) coexpression analysis. GEO microarray (GSE17025) was utilized for validation. The protein-protein interaction network (PPI) and modular analyses were performed using Metascape and Cytoscape. Further validation were performed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

resultsIn total, 821 DEGs were found and further analyzed by GO, KEGG pathway enrichment and PPI analyses. We found that lipid metabolism, immune system and inflammation, extracellular environment-related processes and pathways accounted for a significant portion of the enriched terms. PGR coexpression analysis revealed 7 PGR coexpressed genes (ANO1, SOX17, CGNL1, DACH1, RUNDC3B, SH3YL1 and CRISPLD1) that were also dramatically changed in IshikawaPR cells. Kaplan-Meier survival statistics revealed clinical significance for 4 out of 7 target genes. Furthermore, 8 hub genes and 4 molecular complex detections (MCODEs) were identified.

conclusionsUsing microarray and bioinformatics analyses, we identified DEGs and determined a comprehensive gene network of progesterone resistance. We offered several possible mechanisms of progesterone resistance and identified therapeutic and prognostic targets of progesterone resistance in endometrial cancer.
