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

Numerous epidemiological studies have implicated cigarette smoking as a cofactor in the progression to cervical cancer. Tobacco-associated hydrocarbons have been found in cervical mucus, suggesting a possible interaction with human papillomavirus (HPV)-infected cells. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a major component of cigarette smoke condensate that has received significant attention due to its ability to induce carcinogenesis. We have previously demonstrated by conventional methods for determining viral titer that high concentrations of BaP increase HPV31b titers within the context of organotypic raft cultures compared with the level for vehicle controls. However, a definitive mechanism for explaining this increase in viral titer was lacking. Here, we show that BaP treatment activates the Ras-Raf-Mek1/2-Erk1/2 signaling pathway. The importance of Erk1/2 pathway activation to the BaP-mediated increase in viral titer was determined by Erk pathway inhibition with multiple Erk1/2 pathway inhibitors. Finally, BaP treatment activated p90RSK and its downstream target CDK1. These data indicate that the Erk1/2 signaling pathway plays an important role in mediating the response to BaP treatment that ultimately leads to increased viral titers.
