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

objectiveOvarian cancer and renal cancer are malignant tumors; however, the relationship between TTK Protein Kinase (TTK), AKT-mTOR pathway and ovarian cancer, renal cancer remains unclear.

methodsDownload GSE36668 and GSE69428 from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed. Created protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Used Gene Ontology analysis (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) for functional enrichment analysis. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) analysis and survival analysis were performed. Created animal model for western blot analysis. Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) was performed to explore the role of TTK on the overall survival of renal cancer.

resultsGO showed that DEGs were enriched in anion and small molecule binding, and DNA methylation. KEGG analysis presented that they mostly enriched in cholesterol metabolism, type 1 diabetes, sphingolipid metabolism, ABC transporters, etc., TTK, mTOR, p-mTOR, AKT, p-AKT, 4EBP1, p-4EBP1 and Bcl-2 are highly expressed in ovarian cancer, Bax, Caspase3 are lowly expressed in ovarian cancer, cell apoptosis is inhibited, leading to deterioration of ovarian cancer. Furthermore, the TTK was not only the hub biomarker of ovarian cancer, but also one significant hub gene of renal cancer, and its expression was up-regulated in the renal cancer. Compared with the renal cancer patients with low expression of TTK, the patients with high expression of TTK have the poor overall survival (

conclusionTTK inhibits apoptosis through AKT-mTOR pathway, worsening ovarian cancer. And TTK was also one significant hub biomarker of renal cancer.
