Antiproliferative effects and molecular mechanisms of troglitazone in human cervical cancer in vitro.
Article in OncoTargets and therapy, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
We investigated the effects of troglitazone on human cervical cancer SiHa cells and its mechanisms of action. SiHa cells were incubated with different concentrations of troglitazone (100, 200, or 400 μg/mL) for 24, 48, and 72 hours. Cell viability was measured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl) 2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay; cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry; and morphology of SiHa cells was observed under an inverted microscope. pcDNA3.1 and pcDNA3.1-Skp2 plasmids were constructed and then transfected into SiHa cells. Protein expression was analyzed by Western blotting. Troglitazone inhibited the proliferation of SiHa cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. Troglitazone caused G0/1 phase arrest but failed to reduce apoptosis in SiHa cells. Troglitazone significantly increased expression of p27 but decreased Skp2 expression. Skp2 overexpression inhibited the role of troglitazone in increasing expression of p27, and the cell cycle inhibitory effect of troglitazone. Troglitazone can inhibit SiHa cell viability by affecting cell cycle distribution but not apoptosis, and Skp2 and p27 may play a critical role.
