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

Background: Ovarian cancer (OV) is the leading cause of death in gynecological cancer. The dysregulation of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is commonly found in cancers. However, there is a lack of research into m6A RNA methylation regulators in OV. Methods: The RNA-Seq of 379 OV tissues and 88 healthy ovarian tissues was downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) databases, respectively. A Gene Ontology (GO) functional analysis was performed to verify the function of m6A RNA methylation regulators. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) curves and the log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test were used for the survival analysis. A Cox regression analysis was used to identify the genes related to overall survival (OS) and build the prediction model. Results: m6A RNA methylation regulators were dysregulated in OV tissues compared with normal tissues (P<0.05), and patients with a high expression of Conclusions: m6A RNA methylation regulators were dysregulated in OV tissues. More importantly, the prognostic model comprising the five selected m6A RNA methylation regulators could be a valuable tool for predicting the prognosis of OV patients.
