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

Periostin (POSTN) is a protein secreted by mesenchymal cells. Periostin is upregulated in several cancer types and overexpression is associated with poor prognosis. However, the functional role and molecular underpinnings of periostin in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is unknown. In the present study, periostin was found to be significantly upregulated in EOC stroma. Functional studies revealed that periostin could decrease cisplatin (DDP)-induced apoptosis in EOC. Periostin led to DDP resistance in EOC cells, potentially through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. We generated periostin-overexpressing fibroblasts and found that EOC cells were resistant to DDP when co-cultured with periostin-overexpressing fibroblasts. The findings of the present study indicated that periostin secreted by cancer-associated stromal cells may be a potential therapeutic target for EOC.
