Role of the IL-33/ST2 receptor axis in ovarian cancer progression.
Review in Oncology letters, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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 remains a significant health problem for women in the world due to its diagnosis at advanced stages of disease and the high mortality rate of patients. To date, ovarian cancer is frequently treated with tumor reduction surgery followed by platinum/paclitaxel-based chemotherapy; however, most patients eventually develop relapsed disease. The mRNA expression levels of interleukin-33 (IL-33) and the suppressor of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) receptor are significantly upregulated in ovarian cancer tissues and metastatic tumor lesions. In addition, IL-33 and ST2 expression has been associated with a poor overall survival in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer. The IL-33 receptor ST2 is expressed as both a membrane-anchored receptor (ST2L) activated by IL-33, and as a soluble variant that exhibits anti-inflammatory properties. In the present review, the functions of the IL-33/ST2L axis in cells and their aberrant expression levels in ovarian cancer were discussed. In addition, targeting their expression as a novel strategy for the control of ovarian cancer progression was emphasized.
