Th17 cells favor migration and invasiveness of cervical cancer cells under hypoxia in an IGF2BP2-dependent manner.

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
Hypoxic regions of cervical cancers mediate suppression of the human papillomavirus (HPV) oncoproteins E6 and E7 in an AKT-dependent manner causing oxygen-dependent reversible growth arrest of cancer cells. Furthermore, numbers of T-helper (Th)-17 cells increase during cervical carcinogenesis in cancer tissues, Th17 differentiation is favored by hypoxia and their presence is linked with AKT-dependent therapy resistance, metastases and relapse. As both factors, hypoxia and Th17 cells, are associated with poor prognosis of patients, potential synergistic mechanisms between both are not described so far. In this study, we showed that Th17 cells enhance the expression of hypoxia-related glycolytic enzymes and transporters and functionally favor increased glucose uptake, proliferation and migration of 2D cultures of hypoxic cervical cancer cells as well as invasion of 3D spheroids. As the responsible mediator of increased proliferation, migration and invasion, we identified the RNA-binding protein IGF2BP2 by using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) for IGF2BP2 as well as small molecule IGF2BP2 inhibitors of the benzamidobenzoic acid class. Consistently, Th17 numbers in cervical cancer biopsies correlated with IGF2BP2 expression associated with lymph node metastases and relapse. Correspondingly, a combination of IGF2BP2 expression and Th17 cell numbers >10/mm
