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 the most lethal among female reproductive system malignancies. Depending upon the stage at presentation, the five year survival ratio varies from ∼92 to ∼30%. The role of biomarkers in early cancer diagnosis, including OC, is well understood. In our previous study, through an initial screening, we have analyzed eleven proteins that exhibited differential expression in OC using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-GE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometric (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis. In continuation of our previous study, the present work describes analysis of twenty more proteins that showed aberrant expression in OC. Among these, six showed consistent significant deregulation in the OC false discovery rate [FDR ≤ 0.05]. Upon MS analysis, they were identified as vimentin, tubulin beta 2C chain, tubulin alpha 1C chain, actin cytoplasmic 2, apolipoprotein A-I, and collagen alpha 2(VI) chain [peptide mass fingerprint (PMF) score ≥ 79]. One of the differentially regulated proteins, tubulin beta 2C chain, was found to be significantly (fold change, 2.5) enhanced in OC. Verification by western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) demonstrated that the tubulin beta 2C chain may serve as a valuable marker for OC (ANOVA
