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

RNASET2 (Ribonuclease T2) functions as a tumor suppressor in preventing ovarian tumorigenesis. However, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of RNASET2 protein are completely unknown. Here we identified the F-box protein FBXO6, a substrate recognition subunit of an SCF (Skp1-Cul1-F-box protein) complex, as the ubiquitin E3 ligase for RNASET2. We found that the interaction between FBXO6 and RNASET2 induced RNASET2 instability through the ubiquitin-mediated proteasome degradation pathway. FBXO6 promoted K48-dependent ubiquitination of RNASET2 via its FBA domain. Through analysis of the TCGA dataset, we found that FBXO6 was significantly increased in ovarian cancer tissues and the high expression of FBXO6 was related to the poor overall survival (OS) of ovarian cancer patients at advanced stages. An inverse correlation between the protein levels of FBXO6 and RNASET2 was observed in clinic ovarian cancer samples. Depletion of FBXO6 promoted ovarian cancer cells proliferation, migration, and invasion, which could be partially reversed by RNASET2 silencing. Thus, our data revealed a novel FBXO6-RNASET2 axis, which might contribute to the development of ovarian cancer. We propose that inhibition of FBXO6 might represent an effective therapeutic strategy for ovarian cancer treatment.
