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

Cervical cancer is a common malignant tumor in females. Orthodenticle homolog 1 (OTX1) serves a key role in the occurrence and progression of tumors. The present study aimed to investigate the role and potential mechanism of OTX1 in cervical cancer. OTX1 expression was analyzed by western blotting, reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry. MTT assay was performed to assess cell viability. EdU and colony formation assay were used to measure cell proliferation. Wound healing and Transwell assays were performed to measure cell migration and invasion. Western blot assay was performed for the assessment of protein expression. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed to analyze signaling pathways regulated by OTX1. Co‑Immunoprecipitation assay was performed to confirm the interaction between OTX1 and Wnt9b. In cervical cancer tissue and cells, OTX1 was significantly upregulated. OTX1 overexpression promoted proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells. OTX1 silencing significantly decreased cell proliferation, migration and invasion of cervical cancer. GSEA showed that OTX1 activated the Wnt signaling pathway. OTX1 silencing inhibited the increased levels of adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)‑3β and axis inhibition protein (AXIN)2 and decreased levels of Wnt9b and β‑catenin. OTX1 overexpression decreased the levels of APC, GSK‑3β and AXIN2 and increased levels of Wnt9b and β‑catenin. However, XAV939 (a Wnt signaling inhibitor) and β‑catenin silencing partly eliminated the effect of OTX1 overexpression on cervical cancer cells. OTX1 promoted the progression of cervical cancer by activating the Wnt signaling pathway.
