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

purposeChemoresistance is a concern in ovarian cancer patients, in whom survival remains. MicroRNA, a novel class of small RNAs, have frequently been found to be dysregulated in human malignancies and to act as negative regulators of gene expression. This study aimed to explore the function of miR-338-3p in cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer and potential molecular mechanisms thereof. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe expression levels of miR-338-3p and WNT2B in ovarian cancer tissues and cells were estimated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). In addition, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazol-3-ium bromide (MTT), transwell, and flow cytometry assays were used to assess biological role of miR-338-3p in vitro. Western blot assay was conducted to measure protein expression of WNT2B, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins, and apoptosis-related proteins. The relationship between miR-338-3p and WNT2B was confirmed by dual-luciferase reporter. Finally, a xenograft tumor model was developed to explore the effects of overexpression of miR-338-3p on tumor growth in ovarian cancer in vivo.

resultsMiR-338-3p was downregulated in cisplatin resistant ovarian cancer tissues and cells. Mechanistically, high expression of miR-338-3p enhanced cell sensitivity to cisplatin by inhibiting proliferation, motility, and EMT and by promoting apoptosis via targeting WNT2B expression in vitro. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-338-3p increased cisplatin sensitivity among ovarian cancer in an in vivo xenograft tumor model.

conclusionMiR-338-3p enhances the sensitivity of ovarian cancer cells to cisplatin by downregulating WNT2B.
