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

Several proteins in the iRhom family function as oncogenic regulators in certain cancers. However, the function of these proteins in cervical cancer (CC) is unknown. The relationship of iRhom1 and iRhom2 expression with the clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients with CC was investigated, and their possible molecular mechanisms were examined using in vitro experiments. The expression of iRhom1 and iRhom2 in CC samples of 83 patients was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC), and the associations of their expression with the clinicopathological features of patients were determined. The relationship of iRhom1, iRhom2, and Ki‑67 expression with survival rates was determined using Kaplan‑Meier analysis and Cox regression analyses. HeLa cells were analyzed using MTT assays, cell cycle analysis, and apoptosis assays. The results revealed that CC tissues had higher levels of iRhom1 and iRhom2 than adjacent normal tissues. Increased expression of iRhom1, iRhom2, and K‑i67 was significantly associated with tumor stage, size, and parametrium invasion. High expression of iRhom1, iRhom2 and Ki‑67 was correlated with poor outcomes. Cancer stage and iRhom2 expression were independent prognostic indicators of CC. Knockdown of iRhom1 and iRhom2 in HeLa cells inhibited cell proliferation, promoted the G1 phase and relieved S‑phase arrest, and induced apoptosis. Genomic microarray analysis indicated that iRhom2 knockdown altered several pathways with roles in oncogenesis, including the expression of five genes in the Wnt/β‑catenin pathway. Western blotting in HeLa cells revealed that iRhom1 knockdown significantly suppressed the expression of β‑catenin, Myc, p‑EGFR and TGFBR2, and increased the expression of FAS; iRhom2 knockdown significantly suppressed the expression of β‑catenin, GSK3β, p‑EGFR and Myc. These results were consistent with the genomic microarray data. Collectively, the results indicated that iRhom1 and iRhom2 may function as oncogenes in CC and are potential therapeutic targets.
