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

Toll-like receptors are expressed in human immune cells and many tumors, but the role of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the development of tumors is controversial. We demonstrated the expression, distribution, and functional activity of TLR4 in tissues of normal cervix, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), invasion cervical cancers (ICC), and different human papillomavirus (HPV)-infected cervical cancer cells. The results showed that TLR4 expression was in accordance with the histopathological grade: higher in ICC than in CIN, and low in normal cervical tissues and malignant cervical stroma. Expression was higher in SiHa (HPV16+) than in HeLa (HPV18+) cells, but was not observed in C33A (HPV-) cells. After treatment with its agonist, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the expression levels of TLR4 was increased and apoptosis resistance was induced in SiHa cells, but not in HeLa or C33A cells. Meanwhile, LPS treatment did not alter the cell cycle distribution in SiHa cells. The mechanism of apoptosis resistance may be related to HPV16 infection and not correlated with the cell cycle distribution. Targeting TLR4 in combination with traditional drug treatment may serve as a novel strategy for more effectively killing cancer cells.
