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

backgroundIncreasing evidence has been confirmed that small nucleolar RNAs (SnoRNAs) play critical roles in tumorigenesis and exhibit prognostic value in clinical practice. However, there is short of systematic research on SnoRNAs in ovarian cancer (OV). MATERIAL/

methods379 OV patients with RNA-Seq and clinical parameters from TCGA database and 5 paired clinical OV tissues were embedded in our study. Cox regression analysis was used to identify prognostic SnoRNAs and construct prediction model. SNORic database was adopted to examine the copy number variation of SnoRNAs. ROC curves and KM plot curves were applied to validate the prognostic model. Besides, the model was validated in 5 paired clinical tissues by real-time PCR, H&E staining and immunohistochemistry.

resultsA prognostic model was constructed on the basis of SnoRNAs in OV patients. Patients with higher RiskScore had poor clinicopathological parameters, including higher age, larger tumor size, advanced stage and with tumor status. KM plot analysis confirmed that patients with higher RiskScore had poorer prognosis in subgroup of age, tumor size, and stage. 7 of 9 SnoRNAs in the prognostic model had positive correlation with their host genes. Moreover, 5 of 9 SnoRNAs in the prognostic model correlated with their CNVs, and SNORD105B had the strongest correction with its CNVs. ROC curve showed that the RiskScore had excellent specificity and accuracy. Further, results of H&E staining and immunohistochemistry of Ki67, P53 and P16 confirmed that patients with higher RiskScore are more malignant.

conclusionsIn summary, we identified a nine-SnoRNAs signature as an independent indicator to predict prognosis of OV, providing a prospective prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic targets for ovarian cancer.
