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

Bladder cancer (BC) is universally acknowledged as a significant public health issue, worldwide. Numerous studies have demonstrated that cigarette smoke is the primary risk factor for BC. However, the mechanism of cigarette smoke-induced BC has not been fully elucidated. Sustained epithelial cell hyperplasia has been identified as a preneoplastic lesion during the formation of BC. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether exposure to cigarette smoke extract (CSE) induced proliferation in normal human urothelial SV-HUC-1 cells. Furthermore, the role of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)/activator protein-1 (AP-1) pathway in the CSE-induced proliferation of SV-HUC-1 cells was also investigated. The present study revealed that the expression of phosphorylated-extracellular signal regulated protein kinase (ERK)1/2, Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 was significantly increased following exposure to CSE in SV-HUC-1 cells. Furthermore, CSE increased the expression of the proliferation markers, cyclin D1 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen. By contrast, CSE attenuated the expression of p21. In addition, the inhibitors of ERK1/2 and JNK reversed the aforementioned effects of CSE. However, p38 inhibition did not reverse CSE-induced proliferation. In conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrated that exposure to CSE induced proliferation in normal human urothelial cells. Furthermore, the results also indicated that the ERK1/2 and JNK pathways are important for the regulation of proliferation via the AP-1 proteins.
