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

backgroundMost patients with ovarian cancer (OC) treated with platinum-based chemotherapy have a dismal prognosis owing to drug resistance. However, the regulatory mechanisms of circular RNA (circRNA) and p53 ubiquitination are unknown in platinum-resistant OC. We aimed to identify circRNAs associated with platinum-resistant OC to develop a novel treatment strategy.

methodsPlatinum-resistant circRNAs were screened through circRNA sequencing and validated using quantitative reverse-transcription PCR in OC cells and tissues. The characteristics of circNUP50 were analysed using Sanger sequencing, oligo (dT) primers, ribonuclease R and fluorescence in situ hybridisation assays. Functional experimental studies were performed in vitro and in vivo. The mechanism underlying circNUP50-mediated P53 ubiquitination was investigated through circRNA pull-down analysis and mass spectrometry, luciferase reporters, RNA binding protein immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence assays, cycloheximide chase assays, and ubiquitination experiments. Finally, a platinum and si-circNUP50 co-delivery nanosystem (Psc@DPP) was constructed to treat platinum-resistant OC in an orthotopic animal model.

resultsWe found that circNUP50 contributes to platinum-resistant conditions in OC by promoting cell proliferation, affecting the cell cycle, and reducing apoptosis. The si-circNUP50 mRNA sequencing and circRNA pull-down analysis showed that circNUP50 mediates platinum resistance in OC by binding p53 and UBE2T, accelerating p53 ubiquitination. By contrast, miRNA sequencing and circRNA pull-down experiments indicated that circNUP50 could serve as a sponge for miR-197-3p, thereby upregulating G3BP1 to mediate p53 ubiquitination, promoting OC platinum resistance. Psc@DPP effectively overcame platinum resistance in an OC tumour model and provided a novel idea for treating platinum-resistant OC using si-circNUP50.

conclusionsThis study reveals a novel molecular mechanism by which circNUP50 mediates platinum resistance in OC by modulating p53 ubiquitination and provides new insights for developing effective therapeutic strategies for platinum resistance in OC.
