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

backgroundF-box and leucine-rich repeat protein 18 (FBXL18) is an F-box protein that functions as an E3-ubiquitin ligase, and it plays pivotal roles in multiple disease processes. However, its role and underlying mechanism in ovarian cancer (OC) are still unknown. We investigated the impact and mechanism of FBXL18 in OC cell growth and tumorigenesis.

methodsSilent interfering RNAs and overexpression plasmids were employed to knock down and overexpress

results

conclusionsFBXL18 promoted OC cell proliferation and migration and facilitated OC tumorigenesis. Mechanically, FBXL18 interacted with AKT and promoted K63-linked ubiquitination of AKT to activate AKT in OC cells. Our study revealed that the FBXL18/AKT axis plays a crucial role in the OC process, indicating that FBXL18 may be a valuable target for OC diagnosis and treatment.
