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
Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death in gynecological diseases. Thyroid hormone promotes proliferation of ovarian cancer cells via cell surface receptor integrin αvβ3 that activates extracellular regulated kinase (ERK1/2). However, the mechanisms are still not fully understood. Thyroxine (T4) at a physiologic total hormone concentration (10-7 M) significantly increased proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) abundance in these cell lines, as did 3, 5, 3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) at a supraphysiologic concentration. Thyroid hormone (T4 and T3) treatment of human ovarian cancer cells resulted in enhanced activation of the Ras/MAPK(ERK1/2) signal transduction pathway. An MEK inhibitor (PD98059) blocked hormone-induced cell proliferation but not ER phosphorylation. Knock-down of either integrin αv or β3 by RNAi blocked thyroid hormone-induced phosphorylation of ERK1/2. We also found that thyroid hormone causes elevated phosphorylation and nuclear enrichment of estrogen receptor α (ERα). Confocal microscopy indicated that both T4 and estradiol (E2) caused nuclear translocation of integrin αv and phosphorylation of ERα. The specific ERα antagonist (ICI 182,780; fulvestrant) blocked T4-induced ERK1/2 activation, ERα phosphorylation, PCNA expression and proliferation. The nuclear co-localization of integrin αv and phosphorylated ERα was inhibited by ICI. ICI time-course studies indicated that mechanisms involved in T4- and E2-induced nuclear co-localization of phosphorylated ERα and integrin αv are dissimilar. Chromatin immunoprecipitation results showed that T4-induced binding of integrin αv monomer to ERα promoter and this was reduced by ICI. In summary, thyroid hormone stimulates proliferation of ovarian cancer cells via crosstalk between integrin αv and ERα, mimicking functions of E2.
