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

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate the progression and metastasis of high-grade serous carcinoma ovarian cancer (HGSC). However, HGSC is yet to be classified based on these transcripts. In addition, the crosstalk between master transcriptional factors (MTFs) and lncRNAs remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to classify HGSC based on lncRNA expression and identify the integrated MTFs for highly correlated mRNAs and lncRNAs. Unsupervised clustering was conducted using highly expressed lncRNAs derived from 367 HGSC samples obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas. DNA mutations, somatic copy number alterations, microRNA expression, and DNA methylome were analyzed to identify the genetic and epigenetic factors affecting unsupervised clustering. Multiple Sample Virtual Inference of Protein-activity by Enriched Regulon analysis (msViper) was conducted to identify transcription factors simultaneously exhibiting positive correlation with lncRNAs and mRNAs in each cluster. In vitro analyses were performed to determine if these lncRNAs regulate both the MTFs and target genes. Functional analysis enabled the lncRNA-based classification of HGSC into five groups: "Immune," "EMT," "Estrogen response," "EMT-Androgen response," and "Differentiation" groups. The EMT-Androgen response group showed poor prognosis in the oncologic outcome. Of the transcription factors selected in this group, three MTFs with the highest eigenvector centrality scores were identified (MSC, AEBP1, CREB3L1). However, seven lncRNAs exerted a higher centrality than the selected MTFs. Our results suggest that HGSC can be classified based on lncRNA expression and characterized using molecular features. Therefore, lncRNAs and MTFs may synergistically contribute to molecular features of HGSC that could be indicators for personalized medicine.
