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

The mechanisms controlling the aggressiveness and survival of cervical SCC cells remain unclear. We investigated how the physical and biological microenvironments regulate the growth, apoptosis and invasiveness of cervical cancer cells. Dynamic flow and air exposure were evaluated as physical microenvironmental factors, and stromal fibroblasts were evaluated as a biological microenvironmental factor. To investigate any regulatory effects of these microenvironmental factors, we established a new culture model which concurrently replicates fluid streaming, air exposure and cancer-stromal interactions. Three cervical cancer cell lines were cultured with or without NIH 3T3 fibroblasts. Air exposure was realized using a double-dish culture system. Dynamic flow was created using a rotary shaker. Dynamic flow and air exposure promoted the proliferative activity and decreased the apoptosis of cervical cancer cells. Fibroblasts regulated the invasive ability, growth and apoptosis of cervical cancer cells. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase and p38 signaling were regulated either synergistically or independently by dynamic flow, air exposure and cellular interactions, depending on the cervical cancer cell type. This study demonstrates that the physical and biological microenvironments interact to regulate the aggressiveness and survival of cervical cancer cells. Our simple culture system is a promising model for developing further treatment strategies for various types of cancer.
