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

Dysfunction or aberrant expression of DEAD-box RNA helicases might play a role in the initiation and progression of human cancers. Nevertheless, the key regulator and underlying molecular mechanism have yet to be fully elucidated in ovarian cancer. This study identified DDX39A as one of the prominently upregulated genes in ovarian cancer through a systematic analysis of RNA helicase expression profiles using the CPTAC and TCGA ovarian cancer datasets. High expression of DDX39A was confirmed in paraffin-embedded ovarian cancer samples. Specifically, elevated DDX39A expression was found to be associated with poor overall survival in ovarian cancer patients. Antisense oligonucleotide-mediated DDX39A silencing led to a decrease in the proliferation capacity of a CDX model and a PDX model. Furthermore, DDX39A expression is regulated by the splicing factor SNRPB. SNRPB depletion or DDX39A knockdown induced the retention of DDX39A introns 6 and 8 to generate the noncoding transcript DDX39A-209, which yielded premature termination codons and resulted in nonsense-mediated RNA decay and decreased expression of the DDX39A protein. DDX39A silencing reduced the proliferative and metastatic capacities of SNRPB-overexpressing cells, indicating that DDX39A mediates the oncogenic function of SNRPB in ovarian cancer cells. In addition, RNA-Seq data analysis revealed that DDX39A promotes the proliferation and metastasis of ovarian cancer cells through the regulation of exon skipping of ITGA6 to produce the oncogenic ITGA6A transcript. These findings suggest that the SNRPB/DDX39A/ITGA6 axis plays critically important role in the progression of ovarian cancer, which increases our understanding of the role of DEAD-box RNA helicases and provides a viable therapeutic target for ovarian cancer.
