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

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a nonselective cation channel activated by various stimuli, such as heat. A recent study reported that high expression of TRPV4 predicted a poor prognosis in ovarian cancer patients. This study demonstrated that TRPV4 was highly expressed in ovarian cancer and had the ability to promote proliferation and migration. Through RNA-seq and related experiments, we confirmed that the oncogenic pathway of TRPV4 in ovarian cancer may be related to the fatty acid synthesis. By correlation analysis and RNA-seq, we demonstrated that SREBP1 and mTORC1 were inseparably related to that. Therefore, we used inhibitors to perform experiments. Calcium fluorescent probe experiments suggest that the change of calcium content in ovarian cancer cells was related to the downstream mTORC1 signaling pathway and fatty acid synthesis. These results confirmed that TRPV4 affected the fatty acid synthesis through the calcium-mTOR/SREBP1 signaling pathway, thereby promoting ovarian cancer progression.
