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

backgroundCeramide plays an important role in the occurrence and development of tumor. The synthesis of ceramide needs the participation of LASS. Current studies have shown that different LASS family members play different functions in tumors, especially LASS6, has been proved to play a key role in breast cancer, gastric cancer, melanoma and so on, but the research on ovarian cancer is very limited.

methodsBioinformatics web resources, including Oncomine, UALCAN, Kaplan-Meier Plotter and TIMER were used to analyze the expression profile, prognostic value and immune infiltration of LASS6. The related genes of LASS6 in ovarian cancer were mined by Regulome Explorer and LinkedOmics database, and cluster analysis was done by DAVID. The PPI network involving LASS6 was constructed by STRING database. Finally, the correlation between 10 genes and LASS6 was analyzed by GEPIA database, and their prognostic value in ovarian cancer was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier plotter.

resultsThe expression of LASS6 was up-regulated in ovarian cancer, which was related to the progression and poor prognosis of ovarian cancer. Through GO/KEGG cluster analysis, we also found that LASS6 may affect calcium ion channel and its transport pathways. The analysis of regulatory network involved in LASS6 showed that the high mRNAs of 7 key genes were associated with poor prognosis of OS in patients with ovarian cancer, among which DEGS1 was the most significant.

conclusionsLASS6 may play an important role in the regulation of calcium pathway and become a new therapeutic target and potential prognostic marker in ovarian cancer.
