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

backgroundThe proline-rich protein 11 (PRR11) is a newly identified oncogene associated with a poor prognosis in several human cancers. Nonetheless, research on its role in ovarian cancer (OC) remains largely understudied. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the expression levels of PRR11 protein and its role in human ovarian cancer.

methodsImmunohistochemistry analysis was used to evaluate the expression levels of PRR11 protein in human samples obtained from 49 patients diagnosed with OC and subjected to curative surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between 2007 and 2015.

resultsIn total, 57.1% of the primary OC tumor tissue evaluated demonstrated overexpression of PRR11. Meanwhile, the survival analysis showed that the overall survival (OS) of patients presenting overexpression of PRR11 was significantly lower than the OS of the patients with negative PRR11. In subsequent experiments, it was found that silencing the expression of PRR11 expression inhibited the proliferation of tumor cells and the migration of cells in vitro. Further, cells subjected to PRR11 knockdown exhibited a decrease in tumor growth in vivo. The downregulation of PRR11 was coupled with a decrease in N-cadherin and downregulation in the expression of early growth response protein 1 (EGR1).

conclusionsThe findings suggest that PRR11 might be considered as a potential target for prognostic assessment and gene therapy strategies for patients diagnosed with OC.
