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

Ovarian cancer is an aggressive gynecological tumor usually diagnosed with widespread metastases. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), though recognized as important mediators of tumor metastasis, have received limited attention into their specific functions via the mRNA profiling. Here it is reported elevated expression and selective enrichment of INAVA mRNA in both plasma- and tissue-derived EVs from ovarian cancer patients, which is positively correlated with distant metastasis and poor prognosis. Functionally, INAVA mRNA, upon uptake and translation, activates normal ovarian fibroblasts (NOFs) and drives extensive peritoneum metastasis in the orthotopic xenograft mouse model. Mechanistically, INAVA competitively binds with high mobility group protein A2 (HMGA2) and consequently inhibit its interaction with vaccinia-related kinase 1 (VRK1), leading to reduced HMGA2 phosphorylation on Ser105. Interestingly, this inhibitory phosphorylation stabilizes HMGA2 via blocking tripartite motif-containing 21 (TRIM21) -mediated K48-linked ubiquitylation, and ultimately enhances the transcription of STAT3 to activate NOFs. Lastly, a cell-permeable peptide that disrupts the INAVA-HMGA2 interaction leads to attenuated NOF activation and provides a promising strategy for ovarian cancer therapy.
