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 (OC) represents the most lethal gynecologic malignancy because the majority of patients with OC are diagnosed at advanced stages with peritoneal colonization of OC cells owing to subtle and nonspecific nature of symptoms. Thus, peritoneal colonization-directed therapeutic approaches are urgently needed for patients with advanced OC. Here, we investigated whether Ring-finger protein 126 (RNF126), an E3 ubiquitin ligase that is aberrantly upregulated in epithelial OC tissues, contributes to the peritoneal colonization of OC. RNF126-depleted OC cells showed comparable proliferation under normal culture conditions but displayed decreased growth under floating (anchorage-independent) conditions in vitro. Further analyses showed that RNF126 promoted anoikis resistance in vitro and increased peritoneal colonization in immunodeficient mice in a RING domain-dependent manner. Mechanistically, RNF126 activated the transcriptional factor NF-κB in OC cells under floating conditions in a RING domain-dependent manner, and this NF-κB activation was essential for anchorage-independent growth and peritoneal colonization of OC cells. Thus, RNF126 is a possible target for the prevention and/or therapy of peritoneally colonized OC.
