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

Ovarian cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in women. There are several processes that are described to have a causal relationship in ovarian cancer development, progression, and metastasis formation, that occur both at the genetic and epigenetic level. One of the mechanisms involved in its pathogenesis and progression is estrogen signaling. Estrogen receptors (ER) α, ERβ, and G-protein coupled estrogen receptor 1 (GPER1), in concert with various coregulators and pioneer transcription factors, mediate the effects of estrogens primarily by the transcriptional regulation of estrogen responsive genes, thereby exerting pleiotropic effects including the regulation of cellular proliferation and apoptosis. The expression and activity of estrogen receptors and their coregulators have been demonstrated to be regulated by epigenetic mechanisms like histone modifications and DNA methylation. Here, we intend to summarize and to provide an update on the current understanding of epigenetic mechanisms regulating estrogen signaling and their role in ovarian cancer. For this purpose, we reviewed publications on this topic listed in the PubMed database. Finally, we assess to which extent drugs acting on the epigenetic level might be suitable for the treatment of ovarian cancer.
