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

Recently, Forkhead box C1 (FOXC1) has been identified to play important roles in human cancers. However, the clinical significance and biological role of FOXC1 in cervical cancer remains unclear. Here, we showed that FOXC1 was frequently overexpressed in cervical cancer versus adjacent non-tumor tissues. Overexpression of FOXC1 was significantly correlated with tumor stage (P=0.011), tumor size (P=0.034), stromal invasion (P=0.001), and lymph nodes metastasis (P=0.008). Survival analysis further suggested that high FOXC1 expression was significantly correlated with poor overall survival (P=0.007) and recurrence-free survival (P=0.003) in cervical cancer patients. Moreover, we found that knock-down of FOXC1 by short hairpin RNAi significantly suppressed cervical cancer cells proliferation, migration, and invasion in vitro. Mechanistic studies showed that the FOXC1 requires PI3K/AKT signaling for its regulation of cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Our findings indicate that FOXC1 plays an important oncogenic role in cervical cancer progression.
