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

This research aimed to probe the expression characteristics of poly(A)-binding protein cytoplasmic 1 (PABPC1) and its role on the phenotype of ovarian cancer (OC) cells and to further investigate the possible underlying mechanism. The expression of PABPC1 was analyzed according to the data from gene expression omnibus, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Oncomine databases and the RNA sequencing data set from TCGA were downloaded for evaluating the prognostic values. We revealed that compared with the healthy samples, PABPC1 was upregulated in OC samples. High expression of PABPC1 had a connection with a shorter survival for patients with OC. Loss and gain of function assays revealed that silencing PABPC1 significantly suppressed the viability, invasion and migration of SK-OV-3 cells, while PABPC1 overexpression in A2780 cells showed the reverse outcomes. Moreover, Western blot demonstrated that silencing PABPC1 notably inactivated the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, while upregulation of PABPC1 promoted the mitigation of epithelial phenotype and the acquisition of mesenchymal phenotype. Taken together, PABPC1 was upregulated in OC cells and served as a carcinogene to promote the OC cell growth and invasion partly by modulating the EMT process, which implied that PABPC1 might be considered as a useful biomarker for OC therapeutics.
