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) still remains a common and deadly malignancy among females in developing countries. More accurate and reliable diagnostic methods/biomarkers should be discovered. In this study, we performed a comprehensive analysis of metabolomics (285 samples) and transcriptomics (52 samples) on the potential diagnostic implication and metabolic characteristic description in cervical cancer. Sixty-two metabolites were different between CC and normal controls (NOR), in which 5 metabolites (bilirubin, LysoPC(17:0), n-oleoyl threonine, 12-hydroxydodecanoic acid and tetracosahexaenoic acid) were selected as candidate biomarkers for CC. The AUC value, sensitivity (SE), and specificity (SP) of these 5 biomarkers were 0.99, 0.98 and 0.99, respectively. We further analysed the genes in 7 significantly enriched pathways, of which 117 genes, that were expressed differentially, were mainly involved in catalytic activity. Finally, a fully connected network of metabolites and genes in these pathways was built, which can increase the credibility of our selected metabolites. In conclusion, our biomarkers from metabolomics could set a path for CC diagnosis and screening. Our results also showed that variables of both transcriptomics and metabolomics were associated with CC.
