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 cancer (OC) is one of the most common gynecological malignant tumors worldwide, with high mortality and a poor prognosis. As the early symptoms of malignant ovarian tumors are not obvious, the cause of the disease is still unclear, and the patients' postoperative quality of life of decreases. Therefore, early diagnosis is a problem requiring an urgent solution.

methodsWe obtained the gene expression profiles of ovarian cancer and normal samples from TCGA and GTEx databases for differential expression analysis. From existing literature reports, we acquired the RNA-binding protein (RBP) list for the human species. Utilizing the online tool Starbase, we analyzed the interaction relationship between RBPs and their target genes and selected the modules of RBP target genes through Cytoscape. Finally, univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to determine the prognostic RBP signature.

resultsWe obtained 527 differentially expressed RBPs, which were involved in many important cellular events, such as RNA splicing, the cell cycle, and so on. We predicted several target genes of RBPs, constructed the interaction network of RBPs and their target genes, and obtained many modules from the Cytoscape analysis. Functional enrichment of RBP target genes also includes these important biological processes. Through Cox regression analysis, OC prognostic RBPs were identified and a 10-RBP model constructed. Further analysis showed that the model has high accuracy and sensitivity in predicting the 3/5-year survival rate.

conclusionsOur study identified differentially expressed RBPs and their target genes in OC, and the results promote our understanding of the molecular mechanism of ovarian cancer. The current study could develop novel biomarkers for the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of OC and provide new ideas and prospects for future clinical research.
