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

It is urgent to develop new therapeutic strategies for ovarian cancer (OC). Long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have participated in multiple biological processes including tumor recurrence and progression. This study aimed to determine the effects and potential regulatory mechanism of lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 in OC progression. Levels of lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 and miR-324-3p in OC tissues and cell lines were analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The direct target between FOXD2-AS1 or miR-324-3p was determined using bioinformatics tools and further verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Cell viability, apoptosis, migration, along invasion were assessed by MTT, flow cytometry, as well as Transwell assays, respectively. In addition, the levels of miR-324-3p, PCNA, MMP9, Bax, Bcl-2, and SOX4 in OC cells were evaluated using qRT-PCR and western blot assays. We observed that lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 was up-regulated while miR-324-3p was down-regulated in OC tissues and cell lines, especially in SKOV3 cells. Moreover, miR-324-3p was a direct target of lncRNA FOXD2-AS1. Meanwhile, SOX4 interacted with miR-324-3p and was negatively regulated by miR-324-3p in SKOV3 cells. Function assays confirmed that lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 silenced depressed cell proliferation, migration, and invasion while accelerating apoptosis. These functions of lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 were attenuated by miR-324-3p inhibition. Our research demonstrated that FOXD2-AS1 silencing restrained cell growth and metastasis of OC via regulating miR-324-3p/SOX4 axis, indicating that lncRNA FOXD2-AS1 could be a novel potential therapeutic target for OC.
