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 (OC) is one of the leading causes of female deaths. However, the molecular pathogenesis of OC has still remained elusive. This study aimed to explore the potential genes associated with the progression of OC. In the current study, 3 data sets of OC were downloaded from the GEO database to identify hub gene. Somatic mutation data obtained from TCGA were used to analyse the mutation. Immune cells were used to estimate effect of the hub gene to the tumour microenvironment. RNA-seq and clinical data of OC patients retrieved from TCGA were used to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic values of hub gene. A series of in vitro assays were performed to indicate the function of hub gene and its possible mechanisms in OC. As a result, RAD51AP1 was found as a hub gene, which expression higher was mainly associated with poor survival in OC patients. Up-regulation of RAD51AP1 was closely associated with mutations. RAD51AP1 up-regulation accompanied by accumulated Th2 cells, but reduced CD4 + T cells and CD8 + T cells. Nomogram demonstrated RAD51AP1 increased the accuracy of the model. Down-regulation of RAD51AP1 suppressed proliferation, migration and invasion capabilities of OC cells in vitro. Additionally, scatter plots showed that RAD51AP1 was positively correlated with genes in TGF-β/Smad pathway. The above-mentioned results were validated by RT-qPCR and Western blotting. In conclusion, up-regulation of RAD51AP1 was closely associated with mutations in OC. RAD51AP1 might represent an indicator for predicting OS of OC patients. Besides, RAD51AP1 might accelerate progression of OC by TGF-β/Smad signalling pathway.
