Ethanol induces replication fork stalling and membrane stress in immortalized laryngeal cells.
Article in iScience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Although ethanol is a class I carcinogen and is linked to more than 700,000 cancer incidences, a clear understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying ethanol-related carcinogenesis is still lacking. Further understanding of ethanol-related cell damage can contribute to reducing or treating alcohol-related cancers. Here, we investigated the effects of both short- and long-term exposure of human laryngeal epithelial cells to different ethanol concentrations. RNA sequencing shows that ethanol altered gene expression patterns in a time- and concentration-dependent way, affecting genes involved in ribosome biogenesis, cytoskeleton remodeling, Wnt signaling, and transmembrane ion transport. Additionally, ethanol induced a slower cell proliferation, a delayed cell cycle progression, and replication fork stalling. In addition, ethanol exposure resulted in morphological changes, which could be associated with membrane stress. Taken together, our data yields a comprehensive view of molecular changes associated with ethanol stress in epithelial cells of the upper aerodigestive tract.
