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

Interest in understanding the high chemoresistance and poor prognosis of advanced ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is rising. Patient-derived xenografts (PDX) are widely used in vivo models because of their supposedly accurate morphologic and (epi)genetic representation of patient tumors. Here, we established five subcutaneous OCCC PDXs. The PDX.F1 engraftment success rate was over 30% with similar latency time and growth speed of PDX.F2. ARID1A, PTEN, ATM, BRCA1 and PIK3CA mutations were found in matched tumors and PDXs. ARID1A protein loss was further verified by immunohistochemical staining. Cyclophilin A staining depicted the replacement of human stroma by mouse stroma in PDX.F2, while PAS/PAS-D staining confirmed cellular glycogen accumulation in OCCC tumors and PDXs. SNP array and Infinium MethylationEPIC BeadChip array data analysis demonstrated the copy number alterations and DNA methylation signatures of genome-wide and tumor-driver genes in PDXs generally resembled their patients' tumors. Promoter CpG islands of a small number of genes, enriched in PRC2/histone methylation related gene-sets, gained methylation (△β-value > 0.4) in PDXs vs patient tumors. In conclusion, the high phenotypic and molecular similarity allows the established PDXs to serve as potential preclinical models for future translational research of OCCC.
