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.
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 (OC) has the highest mortality rate of all gynaecological malignancies, partly attributable to its propensity for chemotherapy resistance. The most common subtype of OC is serous, of which high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most lethal subtype. Protein tyrosine phosphatase 4A3 (PTP4A3) overexpression is implicated in tumour cell invasion and metastasis by upregulating the PI3K/Akt/mTORC1 axis. Previously, we reported that PTP4A3 increased the survival of non-serous OC cells by activating the autophagy pathway. Here, we investigated the impact of PTP4A3 on cell proliferation, autophagy and chemoresistance in HGSOC cells and whether targeting PTP4A3 in HGSOC cells that overexpress this phosphatase would sensitise them to existing chemotherapeutic drugs. Gene silencing of PTP4A3 resulted in the upregulation of compensatory mechanisms that overcame the loss of PTP4A3 expression, but this was mitigated by pan-PTP4A inhibition with JMS-053 in HGSOC cells. Moreover, shRNA-mediated silencing of PTP4A3 sensitised HGSOC cells to clinically relevant chemotherapeutic drugs. Overall, we show that compensatory mechanisms from PTP4A1 and PTP4A2 can arise when specifically targeting PTP4A3 in HGSOC and that pan-PTP4A inhibition can overcome those effects.
