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

aimThe underlying mechanisms of chemoresistance-induced recurrence of ovarian carcinoma are largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of RAD51C and its role in ovarian tumorigenesis and progression.

methods60 cases of ovarian epithelial tumors (30 benign and 30 malignant tumors, respectively) were enrolled from 2014 to 2016. Immunohistochemistry was used to evaluate RAD51C expression in tumor tissues, and RT-PCR was employed to test RAD51C mRNA levels in SKOV3, A2780, and CAOV3 cell lines. Targeted knockdown of RAD51C was achieved with siRNA to explore the changes of cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis.

resultsRAD51C protein level in carcinoma tissues, especially in the high-grade group (P<0.001), was significantly higher than that of benign tumors and associated with pathological type, stage, and overall survival (P<0.05). Downregulation of RAD51C promoted apoptosis and decreased cell survival rate and migration.

conclusionsOur results supported that RAD51C contributes to the progression of ovarian carcinoma, suggesting its promising application as an independent prognostic marker for diagnosis and treatment.
