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

backgroundOvarian cancer (OC) is the most common type of gynecological malignant tumors with poor prognosis. The spen paralogue and orthologue C-terminal domain containing 1 (SPOCD1) is a newly identified molecule that has been indicated to discriminate progressive in human solid tumors. However, the role of SPOCD1 in OC remains unknown.

methodsThe expression of SPOCD1 in OC and non-cancerous tissue was detected by Realtime polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining. The expression of SPOCD1 in OC cells (SKOV3 and CAOV3) was also detected by immunohistochemical staining. The effect of SPOCD1 on cell proliferation was analyzed by Cell Counting Kit 8 and colony formation assay, and cell migration was analyzed by transwell assay. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry. The protein expression of SPOCD1, PTEN, PI3K, p-AKT, and mTOR in OC cells was measured by Western blot.

resultsSPOCD1 expression was significantly upregulated in OC tissues compared with non-cancerous tissues (

conclusionsOur data suggest that SPOCD1 may act as a carcinogenesis factor by activating the PI3K/AKT pathway to restrained cell apoptosis in OC.
