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

The present study aimed to explore the significance and molecular mechanisms of galectin-1 (LGALS1) in ovarian cancer (OC). Using the Gene Expression Omnibus database and The Cancer Genome Atlas database, the results of the present study demonstrated that LGALS1 mRNA expression was markedly increased in OC and associated with advanced tumor, lymphatic metastasis and residual lesions. In Kaplan-Meier analysis, patients who expressed LGALS1 highly had a poor prognosis. Furthermore, using The Cancer Genome Atlas database, differentially expressed genes that are potentially regulated by LGALS1 in OC were determined. Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis were used to build a biological network of upregulated differentially expressed genes. The results of the enrichment analysis revealed that the upregulated differentially expressed genes were primarily associated with 'ECM-receptor interaction', 'cell-matrix adhesion' and 'focal adhesion', which are closely associated with the metastasis of cancer cells. Subsequently, cell adhesion was selected for further analysis. The results demonstrated that LGALS1 was co-expressed with the candidate genes. Subsequently, the elevated expression levels of candidate genes were verified in OC tissues, and survival analysis indicated that high expression of candidate genes was associated with shortened overall survival of patients with OC. In the present study, OC samples were also collected to verify the high protein expression levels of LGALS1 and fibronectin 1. The results of the present study highlighted that LGALS1 may regulate cell adhesion and participate in the development of OC. Therefore, LGALS1 exhibits potential as a therapeutic target in OC.
