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

Accumulating evidence has revealed that the expression of the lipid raft protein flotillin-1 is elevated in various human cancers, but the role flotillin-1 plays in the carcinogenesis of cervical cancer remains unclear. The expression profile of flotillin-1 was assayed using real-time PCR, western blotting, and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining in cervical cancer cell lines and cancer tissues with paired adjacent noncancerous cervical tissues. The expression of flotillin-1 protein was detected by IHC staining in a large cohort of 308 paraffin-embedded cervical cancer tissues. Ectopic expression and the short hairpin RNA interference approach were employed to determine the role of flotillin-1 in cervical cancer cell metastasis and the possible mechanism involved. Flotillin-1 expression protein and mRNA were significantly upregulated in cervical cancer cell lines and cancer tissues; elevated expression of flotillin-1 protein in early-stage cervical cancer was significantly associated with pelvic lymph node metastasis (P < 0.001), and was an independent predictive factor of poor overall survival. Moreover, flotillin-1 up- and downregulation remarkably affected cervical cancer cell motility and invasion, respectively, through epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) regulated by the Wnt/β-catenin and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathways. Our results suggest that flotillin-1 facilitates cervical cancer cell metastasis through Wnt/β-catenin and NF-κB pathway-regulated EMT and that the flotillin-1 expression profile serves not only as novel predictor of pelvic lymph node metastasis, but also as neoteric risk factor for patients with early-stage cervical cancer.
