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

purposeOvarian cancer is the leading cause of death from a gynaecological malignancy in the developed world, and is characterized by invasion and metastasis and thus causes a high fatality rate. Estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) has been demonstrated to play a widespread and pathophysiological relevant role in tumourigenesis and development. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ERRα expression on the progression of ovarian cancer.

methodsThe correlation between ERRα expression level and clinical pathological parameters in ovarian cancer tissues were analysed via cancer public database CPTAC. The expression level of ERRα in ovarian cancer cells were confirmed by RT-qPCR and Western blot methods. The cellular ERRα expression was up-regulated by lentivirus transfection and down-regulated by specific antagonist. The invasion and metastasis capabilities of ovarian cancer cells were characterized by wound healing assay and trans-well chamber assay.

resultsThe CPTAC database showed that the ERRα expression levels were higher in the late-stage and high-grade ovarian cancer tissues than in early-stage and low-grade tissues. Ovarian cancer cells with higher-expression ERRα exhibited stronger invasion and metastasis capabilities in vitro. After up-regulating the ERRα expression level, the invasion and metastasis capabilities of ovarian cancer cells were enhanced, while down-regulation weakened. Moreover, the wound sealing rate was positively correlated with the expression of ERRα mRNA expression level (r = 0.921, P < 0.01), and the cell invasiveness was also positively correlated with the cellular ERRα mRNA expression level (r = 0.926, P < 0.01).

conclusionsOur results suggest that ERRα may promote the progression of ovarian cancer, and may serve as a promising predictive biomarker.
