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

backgroundOvarian (OV) cancer is considered as one of the most deadly malignancies in women, since it is unfortunately diagnosed in advanced stages. Nowadays, the importance of bioinformatics tools and their frequent usage in tracking dysregulated cancer-related genes and pathways have been highlighted in researches.

aimThe aim of this study is to investigate dysregulated miRNAs-genes network and its function in OV tumors based on the integration of microarray data through a system biology approach.

methodsTwo microarray data (GSE119056 and GSE4122) were analyzed to explore the differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRs) and genes among OV tumors and normal tissues. Then, through the help of TargetScan, miRmap, and miRTarBase databases, the dysregulated miRNA-gene network in OV tumors was constructed by Cytoscape. In the next step, co-expression and protein-protein interaction networks were made using GEPIA and STRING databases. Moreover, the functional analysis of the hub genes was done by DAVID, KEGG, and Enrichr databases. Eventually, the regulatory network of TF-miRNA-gene was constructed.

resultsThe potential dysregulated miRNAs-genes network in OV tumors has been constructed, including 109 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 25 DEmiRs, and 213 interactions. Two down-regulated microRNAs, miR-660-3p and hsa-miR-4510, have the most interactions with up-expressed oncogenic DEGs. CDK1, PLK1, CCNB1, CCNA2, and EZH2 are involved in protein module, which show significant overexpression in OV tumors according to The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data. EZH2 shows amplification in OV tumors with remarkable percentage. The transcription factors TFAP2C and GATA4 have the pivotal regulatory functions in oncotranscriptomic profile of OV tumors.

conclusionIn current study, we have collected and integrated different data to uncover the complex molecular interactions and oncomechanisms in OV tumors. The DEmiRs-DEGs and TF-miRNA-gene networks reveal the potential interactions that could be a significant piece of the OV onco-puzzle.
