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

B7-H3, which has been reported to be a co-regulatory ligand of the B7 family, can suppress T cell-mediated immunity and has also been reported to be expressed in many malignancies. In this study, we found that B7-H3 was primarily expressed in the cytoplasm of cervical cancer cells and was associated with deep stromal invasion (P=0.0013). The disease-free survival data showed that cervical cancer patients whose tumours were positive for B7-H3 expression had higher mortality rates compared with patients whose tumours lacked B7-H3 expression (P=0.0317), representing an advantage over P16 (P=0.3486). In contrast, the level of serum B7-H3 was low in cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer. The silencing of B7-H3 in the SiHa, CaSki and H8 cell lines inhibited cell proliferation and enhanced apoptosis, while the over-expression of B7-H3 in HeLa cells showed inverse changes. These changes were partially due to the regulation of cell cycle- and apoptosis-related proteins, such as E2F, P21, P16, PARP-1, Caspase-8, Bax, Bcl-2 and Bcl-xl. The results of in vivo experiments revealed that the knockdown of B7-H3 in tumour cells suppressed SiHa cell growth in nude mice. Overall, B7-H3 is involved in the development and progression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and cervical cancer through its effects on the cell cycle and apoptosis, which are mediated via the E7/Rb pathway. B7-H3 also has the potential to be a useful prognostic marker for patients with cervical cancer.
