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 most lethal gynecological tumor, and the 5‑year survival rate is only ~40%. The poor survival rate is due to cancer diagnosis at an advanced stage, when the tumor has metastasized. A better understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of tumor growth and metastasis is needed to improve patient prognosis. MicroRNAs (miRs) regulate carcinogenesis and development of cancers. However, the role of miR‑508‑3p in ovarian cancer remains largely unknown. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the possible functions of miR‑508‑3p in the modulation of development of ovarian cancer. The results of the present study demonstrated that miR‑508‑3p mimics inhibited ovarian cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Reporter gene assay results demonstrated that miR‑508‑3p suppressed cancer cell proliferation by directly targeting the 3'‑untranslated region (UTR) of cyclin A2 (CCNA2) and suppressed migration and invasion by directly targeting the 3'‑UTR of matrix metalloproteinase 7 (MMP7). In addition, high CCNA2 and MMP7 expression levels were associated with low miR‑508‑3p expression in ovarian cancer tissues. Furthermore, miR‑508‑3p and CCNA2 were independent predictors for overall survival in patients with ovarian cancer. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrated that miR‑508‑3p suppressed ovarian cancer development by directly targeting CCNA2 and MMP7. The results of this study suggested the potential value of miR‑508‑3p and CCNA2 as prognostic indicators and therapeutics for ovarian cancer.
