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

This study aims to explore the regulatory mechanism of SNAI2 in ovarian cancer, and to uncover its correlation with ferroptosis. A human normal ovarian cell line IOSE-80 and four ovarian cancer cell lines (SKOV3, A2780 and CAOV3) were applied to detect SNAI2 and ferrptosis level, and an elevated SNAI2 expression and the occurrence of ferroptosis were observed in ovarian cancer cells, especially in SKOV3 cells. Then, results from a series of cellular behaviors experiments revealed that SNAI2 knockdown greatly suppressed cell viability, migration, invasion, and promoted cell apoptosis, as well as promoting the occurrence of ferroptosis in SKOV3 cells. The effects of SNAI2 knockdown on SKOV3 cells were similar to erastin, an inducer of ferroptosis. Subsequently, SNAI2 was verified to directly bind to the promoter of SLC7A11 by luciferase reporter assay and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay. Furthermore, mice were subcutaneously injected with SKOV3 cells to induce tumor formation. Erastin exhibited an anti-tumor effect on mice suffering from ovarian cancer, which was partly weakened by SNAI2 overexpression. In conclusion, this study disclosed that SNAI2 knockdown or erastin exhibited an anti-tumor activity in ovarian cancer by promoting ferroptosis, shedding new insights of the regulatory mechanism of SNAI2-mediated ferroptosis in ovarian cancer.
