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

Cervical cancer is a common malignancy in females. Diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer remains a challenge due to difficulties in the presence of tumor metastasis. Increased expression level of Erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 3 (ERBB3) has previously been demonstrated to be associated with the occurrence of cervical cancer; however, the functionality of ERBB3 in the development of cervical cancer remains incompletely understood. In the present study, the expression level of ERBB3 in patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma and cervical adenocarcinoma was detected by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The effects of ERBB3 small interfering RNA silencing on cell proliferation, migration and invasion were explored, and the interaction between ERBB3 and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 4 (MTK-1) was also investigated. It was identified that the downregulation of ERBB3 significantly decreased the proliferative, migratory and invasive abilities of cervical cancer cells. In addition, the expression level of MTK-1 was also significantly decreased following MTK-1 siRNA silencing. Therefore, we hypothesize that the downregulation of ERBB3 may decrease the proliferative, migratory and invasive abilities of cervical cancer cells by inhibiting the expression of MTK-1.
