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

The onset of chemo-resistant recurrence represents the principal cause of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) death. HGSOC masses are characterized by a hypoxic microenvironment, which contributes to the development of this chemo-resistant phenotype. Hypoxia regulated-miRNAs (HRMs) represent a molecular response of cancer cells to hypoxia and are involved in tumor progression. We investigated the expression of HRMs using miRNA expression data from a total of 273 advanced-stage HGSOC samples. The miRNAs associated with chemoresistance and survival were validated by RT-qPCR and target prediction, and comparative pathway analysis was conducted for target gene identification. Analysis of miRNA expression profiles indicated miR-23a-3p and miR-181c-5p over-expression as associated with chemoresistance and poor PFS. RT-qPCR data confirmed upregulation of miR-23a-3p in tumors from chemoresistant HGSOC patients and its significant association with shorter PFS. In silico miR-23a-3p target prediction and comparative pathway analysis identified platinum drug resistance as the pathway with the highest number of miR-23a-3p target genes. Among them, APAF-1 emerged as the most promising, being downregulated in platinum-resistant patients and in HGSOC chemo-resistant cells. These results highlight miR-23a-3p as a potential biomarker for HGSOC platinum response and prognosis and the miR23a-3p/APAF1 axis as a possible target to overcome platinum-resistance.
