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

objectiveEpithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a common gynecologic malignancy characterized by extensive peritoneal metastasis and high mortality rate. ABHD11 Antisense RNA1 (ABHD11-AS1) has recently been identified as a regulator of growth and metastasis in multiple tumors, including EOC. However, the biological function and potential mechanism of ABHD11-AS1 in EOC remains poorly understood.

methodsImmunohistochemistry, western blot, and qRT-PCR analysis were used to determine the expression pattern of ABHD11-AS1 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in both EOC tissues and cell lines, respectively. Colony formation, transwell and wound healing assays were performed to evaluate the roles of EGFR and ABHD11-AS1 on the capacity of cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Western blot analysis was performed to measure the regulation of EGFR pathway on STAT3. Moreover, chromatin immunoprecipitation was employed to demonstrate the interaction between ABHD11-AS1 and STAT3. RNA immunoprecipitation was subjected to prove the direct binding between ABHD11-AS1 and EZH2. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to measure the expression and localization of TIMP2. EOC mouse model was conducted for validating the role of ABHD11-AS1 in vivo.

resultsEGFR and ABHD11-AS1 were highly expressed in EOC tissues and cell lines. Knockdown of EGFR or ABHD11-AS1 inhibited cell growth, migration, and invasion of EOC cells. Expression of ABHD11-AS1 was regulated by the activation of EGFR signaling pathway, mediated by STAT3. Besides, ABHD11-AS1 was shown to silence TIMP2 by binding to chromatin-modifying enzyme EZH2. Furthermore, inhibition of EGFR pathway or ABHD11-AS1 repressed the tumor growth of EOC.

conclusionWe defined the regulatory relationship between the EGFR signaling pathway, ABHD11-AS1, EZH2, and TIMP2 suggesting that ABHD11-AS1 may act as an oncogene and a potential target for antitumor therapies in ovarian cancer.
