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

Cisplatin (DDP) resistance is a major challenge in treating ovarian cancer patients. A recently discovered enzyme called dCTP pyrophosphatase 1 (DCTPP1) has been implicated in regulating cancer characteristics, including drug responses. In this study, we aimed to understand the role of DCTPP1 in cancer progression and cisplatin response. Using publicly available databases, we analysed the expression and clinical significance of DCTPP1 in ovarian cancer. Our bioinformatics analysis confirmed that DCTPP1 is significantly overexpressed in ovarian cancer and is closely associated with tumour progression and poor prognosis after cisplatin treatment. We also found that DCTPP1 located in oxidoreductase complex and may be involved in various biological processes related to cisplatin resistance, including pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism, the P53 signalling pathway and cell cycle signalling pathways. We observed higher expression of DCTPP1 in cisplatin-resistant cells (SKOV3/DDP) and samples compared to their sensitive counterparts. Additionally, we found that DCTPP1 expression was only enhanced in SKOV3/S cells when treated with cisplatin, indicating different expression patterns of DCTPP1 in cisplatin-sensitive and cisplatin-resistant cancer cells. Our study further supports the notion that cisplatin induces intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and triggers cancer cell death through excessive oxidative stress. Knocking out DCTPP1 reversed the drug resistance of ovarian cancer cells by enhancing the intracellular antioxidant stress response and accumulating ROS. Based on our research findings, we conclude that DCTPP1 has prognostic value for ovarian cancer patients, and targeting DCTPP1 may be clinically significant in overcoming cisplatin resistance in ovarian cancer.
