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

objectiveThe aim was to assess the expression levels of SLC7A11 and GPX4 in relation to platinum resistance and prognosis in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).

designA retrospective cohort study.

settingWomen's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China. POPULATION OR SAMPLE: We included 192 eligible patients from hospital between January 2002 and December 2018.

methodsWe retrospectively analysed the medical records of patients with EOC. Surgical specimens of EOC were stained for SLC7A11 and GPX4. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression methods.

main outcome measuresClinical end points include platinum-free interval (PFI), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).

resultsPatients with high co-expression levels of SLC7A11 and GPX4 had a 60-fold higher risk of platinum resistance compared with those with low co-expression (risk ratio, 60.46; 95% confidence interval [CI] 22.76-160.58; p < 0.001). Moreover, high co-expression level of SLC7A11 and GPX4 was an independent prognostic factor for poor OS (p < 0.001, hazard ratio [HR] 4.44, 95% CI, 2.77-7.14) and poor PFS (p < 0.001, HR = 5.73, 95% CI, 3.86-8.73). For in vitro experiments, SLC7A11 and GPX4 expression were both upregulated in platinum-resistant cells compared with their parental ovarian cancer cells, and siRNA-induced SLC7A11 and GPX4 inhibition decreased platinum resistance.

conclusionsHigh expression levels of SLC7A11 and GPX4 are associated with platinum resistance in EOC patients. High co-expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 may be a significant independent prognostic factor and a potential therapeutic target for platinum resistance in EOC patients.
