Estrogen affects cell growth and IGF-1 receptor expression in renal cell carcinoma.
Article in OncoTargets and therapy, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeBoth obesity and gender are important etiological factors in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) development, suggesting a pivotal role of sex hormone signaling pathway and insulin-like growth factor (IGF) family in RCC carcinogenesis. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect of estrogen on RCC growth and the possible interaction between estrogen/estrogen receptor (ER) signaling pathway and the IGF axis.
methodsER-α and ER-β were detected in four human RCC cell lines. Cells were treated with 17β-estradiol (E2), and cell proliferation was determined using the cell counting kit-8 assay. Using siRNA, ER-β was downregulated in RCC cells and the effect of E2 on cell growth and IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) expression was examined.
resultsE2 inhibited 786-O cell but not A498 cell growth significantly. After the downregulation of ER-β, E2 showed no obvious inhibitory role in 786-O cells. E2 stimulation increased the expression of IGF-1R in 786-O cells. Downregulation of ER-β, as well as fulvestrant, attenuated the stimulatory effect of E2 on IGF-1R expression.
conclusionOur results revealed that estrogen induced RCC growth inhibition via an ER-β-dependent pathway. Estrogen also upregulated the expression of IGF-1R, suggesting a link between estrogen/ER and IGF axis.
