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

aimOvarian cancer (OC) is a fatal female malignant tumor that severely impacts the health of women worldwide. Due to the lack of diagnostic biomarkers, 70% of OC patients are considered in the advanced stage at the first diagnosis. Exploring novel biomarkers for OC diagnosis has become an urgent clinical need to address. TRIB1 is a newly discovered oncogene in several malignant tumors, including acute myeloid leukemia, prostate cancer, and breast cancer. However, the biological function of TRIB1 in OC remains uncertain and, therefore, was explored in the present study.

methodsLevels of TRIB1 in OC and normal tissues were evaluated in the GEPIA database. TRIB1-KD was constructed in ES-2 cells and TRIB1-OE was constructed in OVCAR3 cells using a siRNA and OE vector, respectively. The proliferation ability was determined using the CCK-8 and clone formation assays. The migration ability was detected using the wound healing and Transwell assays. The expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) biomarkers was determined using western blotting.

resultsTRIB1 was markedly upregulated in OC tissues compared with normal ovarian tissues in the GEPIA database. The TRIB1 level was slightly altered among ES-2, CAOV3, and SKOV3 cells, with the highest expression in ES-2 cells, which was greatly reduced in OVCAR3 cells. In TRIB1-KD ES-2 cells, a remarkably reduced proliferation ability was observed with the CCK-8 and clone formation assays, accompanied by a reduction in migration distance in the Wound healing assay and the number of migrated cells in the Transwell assay. In contrast, in TRIB1-OE OVCAR3 cells, increased proliferation ability was observed, accompanied by increased migration distance and number of migrated cells. Furthermore, EMT progression was markedly repressed in TRIB1-KD ES-2 cells and remarkably enhanced in TRIB1-OE OVCAR3 cells.

conclusionTRIB1 facilitated the proliferation and migration of OC cells by enhancing EMT progression.
