Pentraxin 3 is a diagnostic and prognostic marker for ovarian epithelial cancer patients based on comprehensive bioinformatics and experiments.

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
backgroundOvarian epithelial cancer is one of the leading malignant tumors in gynecology and lacks effective diagnostic and prognostic markers. Our study aims to screen and verify ovarian epithelial cancer biomarkers.
methodsGSE18520 and GSE26712 were downloaded from the GEO database. The "limma" and "WGCNA" packages were used to explore hub genes. The Kaplan-Meier Plotter database was used for survival analysis of the hub genes. Immunohistochemical analysis was used to identify the expression level of Pentraxin 3 in ovarian epithelial cancer samples.
resultsIn this study, we integrated and analyzed two datasets, GSE18520 and GSE26712, and a total of 238 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened out. Enrichment analysis showed that these DEGs were related to collagen-containing extracellular matrix and other pathways. Further application of WGCNA (weighted gene coexpression network analysis) identified 15 gene modules, with the purple module showing the highest correlation with ovarian epithelial cancer. Twenty-five genes were shared between the purple module and DEGs, 13 genes were related to the prognosis of ovarian epithelial cancer patients, and the PTX3 gene had the highest hazardous risk (HR) value. We performed immunohistochemical analyses on the 255 Pentraxin-3 (PTX3)-based clinical samples. PTX3 was found to be overexpressed in ovarian epithelial cancer and related to the degree of differentiation. The Cox proportional hazard model indicates that high PTX3 expression is an independent risk factor for the prognosis of ovarian epithelial cancer patients.
conclusionsIn conclusion, through WGCNA and a series of comprehensive bioinformatics analyses, PTX3 was first identified as a novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for ovarian epithelial cancer.
