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

Corticotropin-releasing hormone acts as a stressor mediator in the human reproductive system. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) has been detected in several carcinomas of gynecological origin like breast, ovarian, and endometrial carcinomas. It was additionally shown that CRH could induce Fas ligand (FasL) expression in ovarian carcinoma cell lines. To determine whether CRH could also be expressed during cervical cancer development, we studied the expression of CRH using HeLa cells in an in vitro cervical cancer model. We further studied whether CRH could regulate FasL expression. In that context, HeLa cells were cultured in the presence or absence of 1 μM CRH. CRH and FasL expressions were assessed by indirect immunofluorescence, reverse transcription PCR, and Western blot. The current results indicated that in HeLa cells, CRH can significantly induce both FasL transcription and FasL translation. Taking into account previous studies already establishing a connection between FasL expression and tumor immunoescape in cervical cancer, it can be concluded that such immunoescape could be CRH dependent.
