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

Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common type of cancer afflicting women and frequently presents at a late stage with a poor prognosis. While paired box 2 (PAX2) expression is frequently lost in high‑grade serous ovarian cancer, it is expressed in a subset of ovarian tumors and may play a role in tumorigenesis. This study investigated the expression of PAX2 in ovarian cancer. The expression of PAX2 in a murine allograft model of ovarian cancer, the RM model, led to a more rapidly growing cell line both in vitro and in vivo. This finding was in accordance with the shorter progression‑free survival observed in patients with a higher PAX2 expression, as determined in this study cohort by immunohistochemistry. iTRAQ‑based proteomic profiling revealed that proteins involved in fatty acid metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation were found to be upregulated in RM tumors expressing PAX2. The expression of two key fatty acid metabolic genes was also found to be upregulated in PAX2‑expressing human ovarian cancer samples. The analysis of existing datasets also indicated that a high expression of key enzymes in fatty acid metabolism was associated with a shorter progression‑free survival time in patients with serous ovarian cancer. Thus, on the whole, the findings of this study indicate that PAX2 may promote ovarian cancer progression, involving fatty acid metabolic reprograming.
