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 (CC) is a common gynecological malignancy, accounting for 10% of all gynecological cancers. Recently, targeted therapy for CC has shown unprecedented advantages. To improve CC patients' prognosis, there are still urgent needs to develop more promising therapeutic targets. Aldo-keto reductase 1 family member C1 (AKR1C1) is a type of aldosterone reductase and plays a regulatory role in a variety of key metabolic pathways. Several studies indicated that AKR1C1 was highly expressed in a series of tumors, and participated in the progression of these tumors. However, the possible effects of AKR1C1 on CC progression remain unclear. Herein, we revealed AKR1C1 was highly expressed in human CC tissues and correlated with the clinical characteristics of patients with CC. AKR1C1 could regulate the proliferation and invasion of cervical cancer cells in vitro. Further experiments showed that AKR1C1 could regulate TWIST1 expression and AKT pathway. In summary, we confirmed the involvement of AKR1C1 in CC progression, and therefore AKR1C1 may have the potential to be a molecular target for CC treatment.
