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 high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) risk locus at chromosome 1p34.3 resides within a frequently amplified genomic region signifying the presence of an oncogene. Here, we integrate in silico variant-to-function analysis with functional studies to characterize the oncogenic potential of candidate genes in the 1p34.3 locus. Fine mapping of genome-wide association statistics identified candidate causal SNPs local to H3K27ac-demarcated enhancer regions that exhibit allele-specific binding for CTCF in HGSOC and normal fallopian tube secretory epithelium cells (FTSECs). SNP risk associations colocalized with eQTL for six genes (DNALI1, GNL2, RSPO1, SNIP1, MEAF6, and LINC01137) that are more highly expressed in carriers of the risk allele, and three (DNALI1, GNL2, and RSPO1) were upregulated in HGSOC compared to normal ovarian surface epithelium cells and/or FTSECs. Increased expression of GNL2 and MEAF6 was associated with shorter survival in HGSOC with 1p34.3 amplifications. Despite its activation of β-catenin signaling, RSPO1 overexpression exerted no effects on proliferation or colony formation in our study of ovarian cancer and FTSECs. Instead, GNL2, MEAF6, and SNIP1 silencing impaired in vitro ovarian cancer cell growth. Additionally, GNL2 silencing diminished xenograft tumor formation, whereas overexpression stimulated proliferation and colony formation in FTSECs. GNL2 influences 60S ribosomal subunit maturation and global protein synthesis in ovarian cancer and FTSECs, providing a potential mechanism of how GNL2 upregulation might promote ovarian cancer development and mediate genetic susceptibility of HGSOC.
