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

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) represent a critical stromal component of metastatic niche and promote metastasis in patients with ovarian cancer (OC). Here, we try to further understand the mechanism by which CAFs-derived exosomes (CAFs-Exo) promoted angiogenesis in OC. We intersected differentially expressed genes in OC cells after CAFs-Exo treatment in the GSE147610 dataset with a list of transcription factors to identify homeobox protein hox-D11 (HOXD11) as a possible cargo of CAFs-Exo. HOXD11 encapsulated by CAFs-Exo enhanced colony formation, migration, and invasion of OC cells. HOXD11 bound to the promoter of fibronectin (FN1) and promoted its transcription. HOXD11 knockdown from CAFs-Exo significantly repressed the VEGF and CD31 protein expression and tube formation, viability, and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and slowed angiogenesis and tumor growth in mice. Furthermore, we found that overexpression of FN1 increased the expression of angiogenic factors and activity of HUVEC in the presence of HOXD11 knockdown. These results verify the significant contribution of CAFs-Exo to angiogenesis in OC, which could be partially due to the promotion of FN1 mediated by HOXD11.
