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

The detection of intracellular forms of Notch1 in human cervical cancers more than a decade ago prompted an investigation into the possible role of this pathway in driving these cancers. These tumors are consistently characterized by features of deregulated ligand-dependent signaling. Although Notch signaling complements the function of papillomavirus oncogenes in transformation assays of human keratinocytes, there are dose-dependent effects, which inhibit growth of established cervical cancer cell lines. Two pro-oncogenic effector mechanisms that have been suggested to operate in this context by Notch signaling are the activation of PI3K/Akt pathway and the upregulation of c-Myc. Collectively, there is a complex interplay between Notch signaling and papillomaviruses in the context of cervical carcinogenesis. Better animal model systems and identification of human cervical cancer stem cells should help clarify the possible stage specific and pleiotropic effects and regulation of Notch signaling.
