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

Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal gynecologic malignancies worldwide, with the 5-year survival is less than 50%. Although some clinical achievements have been achieved, the overall survival rate has remained unchanged over the past 20 years. Therefore, it is necessary and urgent to develop the potential modifiers and therapeutic approach to improve the overall survival rate in ovarian cancer patients. RBCK1 is an RING protein E3 ubiquitin ligase, which was revealed to involve in the progression of several cancers through its ubiquitination function. In this research, we report that RBCK1 expression is significantly elevated in human ovarian cancer and strongly associated with poor patients' prognosis. RBCK1 deficiency induces cell apoptosis and inhibits cell proliferation and migration in ovarian cancer cells. In terms of molecular mechanism, we report that RBCK1 interacts with PTEN and promotes PTEN degradation in K48-linked ubiquitination. Our study suggests a new and interesting regulatory mechanism that RBCK1 facilitates PTEN degradation, which could be a new potential therapeutic target for ovarian cancer treatment.
