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

<strong>BACKGROUND</strong> Hypoxia promotes cancer progression. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) has been reported to enhance tumor invasion and metastasis via activating downstream genes, such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The purpose of this study was to explore the probable roles of HIF-1alpha and MMP13 in the invasion and metastasis of ovarian cancer under hypoxic conditions. <strong>MATERIAL AND METHODS</strong> The expression of HIF-1alpha and MMP13 protein were detected with immunohistochemistry staining in ovarian cancer tissues, metastatic lesions, and normal fallopian tissues. Ovarian cancer A2780 cells were cultured under normoxic condition and hypoxic condition. mRNA and protein expression of HIF-1alpha and MMP13 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. The effects of siRNA against HIF-1alpha on MMP13 expression were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Transwell invasion assays were performed to test the invasive ability of A2780 cells. <strong>RESULTS</strong> Immunohistochemistry staining showed significantly higher expression of HIF-1alpha and MMP13 protein in ovarian cancer tissues and metastatic lesions than in normal fallopian tissues. HIF-1alpha and MMP13 expression were closely related. After exposure to hypoxia, mRNA and protein levels of HIF-1alpha and MMP13 were upregulated. siRNA effectively inhibited HIF-1alpha expression and MMP13 expression. The number of invading A2780 cells decreased after HIF-1alpha was silenced. <strong>CONCLUSIONS</strong> This study suggests that HIF-1alpha promotes ovarian cancer cell invasion through a MMP13 mechanism. It might be an effective strategy targeting HIF-1alpha - MMP13 to inhibit invasion and metastasis of ovarian cancer.
