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 purpose of the current study was to investigate the biological function of cell division cycle-associated protein 7 (CDCA7) on ovarian cancer (OC) progression and analyze the molecular mechanism of CDCA7 on OC cellular processes and angiogenesis. CDCA7 expression in OC tissues and adjacent normal tissues was obtained from Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) and in various cancer cell lines was obtained from Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE). Moreover, CDCA7 expression in adjacent normal tissues and tumor tissues of OC patients as well as in normal ovarian epithelial cells (NOEC) and ovarian cancer cells (OVCAR3, SKOV3, CAOV-3, A2780) was further confirmed via Western blot assay and Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). In addition, Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was also applied for determination of CDCA7 expression in tissues of OC patients. Then, SKOV3 cells were introduced with shRNA-CDCA7 for functional experiments. GeneMANIA database analysis and coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay verified the interaction between CDCA7 and enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) to probe the potential mechanism. CDCA7 expression was elevated in tumor tissues of OC patients and OC cell lines. CDCA7 silencing restrained the proliferative, migrative and invasive capacities and arrested cell cycle of OC cells. In addition, CDCA7 knockdown induced a weaker in vitro angiogenesis of HUVECs. Mechanistically, CDCA7 interacted with EZH2. Downregulation of CDCA7 arrested angiogenesis by suppressing EZH2 expression. To sum up, the current study revealed the impact and potential mechanism of CDCA7 on OC cellular processes, developing a promising molecular target for OC therapies.
