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

Introduction: Ovarian cancer is the most common malignant cancer among females. This study aimed to investigate role of the CXCL12-CXCR4/CXCR7 chemokine axis in ovarian cancer. Material and methods: SKOV3 cells were transfected with siCXCR4/siCX-CR7 plasmids and divided into SKOV3, LV3, LV3-siCXCR4, and LV3-siCXCR7 groups. Cell viability and apoptosis were examined using MTT and flow cytometry. ELISA was conducted to evaluate vascular-endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels. SKOV3 cells were transplanted into mice to establish a Xenograft model. The tumour volume of the Xenograft model was recorded. CD31, matrix-metalloprotein-9 (MMP-9), vimentin, and E-cadherin expressions in SKOV3 cells and tumour tissues were evaluated with quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot. Immunohistochemistry assay was used to detect VEGF-A, CD31, MMP-9, vimentin, and E-cadherin expression. Results: SKOV3 cells strongly expressed CXCR4 and CXCR7. CXCL12 significantly enhanced cell viability, and CXCR4/CXCR7 inhibitor remarkably reduced cell viability of SKOV3 ( Conclusions: CXCR4/CXCR7 gene-silencing could suppress ovarian cancer cell proliferation and tumour growth through modulation of the CXCL12-CXCR4/CXCR7 chemokine axis and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathway.
