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

objectiveTo investigate whether miR-203a-3p can regulate the biological behaviors of ovarian cancer cells by targeting ATM to affect the Akt/GSK-3β/Snail signaling pathway.

methodsThe expression levels of miR-203a-3p and ATM were detected by qRT-PCR, immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting in ovarian cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues obtained from 152 subjects. A dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was performed to verify the relationship between miR-203a-3p and ATM. Human ovarian cancer cell lines (A2780 and SKOV3) were used to generate the Blank, miR-NC, miR-203a-3p mimic, Control siRNA, ATM siRNA, and miR-203a-3p inhibitor + ATM siRNA groups. The biological behaviors of ovarian cancer cells were evaluated by CCK-8, wound healing, and Transwell invasion assays, annexin V-FITC/PI staining and flow cytometry. The levels of Akt/GSK-3β/Snail pathway-related proteins were assessed by Western blotting.

resultsOvarian cancer tissues showed lower miR-203a-3p levels and higher ATM levels than adjacent normal tissues, both of which were associated with the FIGO stage, grade and prognosis of ovarian cancer. As confirmed by a dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, miR-203a-3p could target ATM. Furthermore, the miR-203a-3p mimic had multiple effects, including the inhibition of the proliferation, invasion and migration of A2780 and SKOV3 cells, the promotion of cell apoptosis, the arrest of the cell cycle at the G1 phase, and the blockage of the Akt/GSK-3β/Snail signaling pathway. ATM siRNA had similar effects on the biological behaviors of ovarian cancer cells, and these effects could be reversed by a miR-203a-3p inhibitor.

conclusionmiR-203a-3p was capable of hindering proliferation, migration, and invasion and facilitating the apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells through its modulation of the Akt/GSK-3β/Snail signaling pathway by targeting ATM, and therefore it could serve as a potential therapeutic option for ovarian cancer.
