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

DOT1-like protein (Dot1L) is the sole methyltransferase for methylation of lysine 79 in histone H3. Dot1L-dependent H3K79 methylation is involved in many biological processes, including telomeric silencing, cell cycle regulation, transcriptional activation and DNA repair. Genome-wide sequencing studies have revealed recurrent deletion and mutations of Dot1L gene in many types of human malignancies including ovarian cancer, however the role of Dot1L in ovarian cancer are largely unknown. To demonstrate the role of Dot1L in ovarian cancer, the expression of Dot1L was knocked out in ovarian cancer cells using CRISPR/Cas9 technology in the present study. Dot1L loss showed minimal effect on cell growth, but significantly promoted cell invasion and induced cancer stem-like cell property in ovarian cancer cells. Mechanistically, loss of Dot1L downregulated the expression of tight junction makers E-Cadherin and TJP1 and upregulated the expression of ALDH1A1 through Wnt signaling activation. Our data indicate potential tumor suppressor function of Dot1L in ovarian cancer, which is correlated with observed deletion of Dot1L gene in ovarian cancer patients, further study is granted to elucidate the function of Dot1L in tumorigenesis and progression in ovarian cancer.
