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 clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is the second most common ovarian cancer after serous carcinoma in Southeast Asia. OCCC has a more unfavourable clinical outcome due to a poor response to platinum-based chemotherapy compared with serous carcinoma. The identification of biomarkers related to the prognosis of OCCC is critically important for an improved understanding of the biology that drives OCCC progression and leads to poor outcomes. To detect differences in gene expression profiles between OCCC and high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), twelve patients with OCCC and twelve patients with HGSOC were recruited in whom the pathological diagnosis was confirmed on surgically resected specimens.

resultsCompared with HGSOC, OCCC has 609 differentially expression genes, and 199 are significantly different (P < 0.05). These genes are involved in the cell cycle, apoptosis, DNA damage repair, the PI3K pathway and so on. There were 164 differentially expressed genes in the PI3K pathway. There were 35 overexpressed genes in OCCC, while there were 12 overexpressed genes in HGSOC. Among these differentially expressed genes, we found that the MET gene and the CCNE1 gene were overexpressed in OCCC and associated with a worse prognosis.

conclusionsIn conclusion, there are many differentially expressed genes in OCCC and HGSOC, which indicates that the two kinds of tumours differ greatly in tumourigenesis and provides a theoretical basis for targeted therapy in the future. Further studies need to be performed to clarify the association of the differentially expressed genes with the unfavourable prognosis in OCCC.
