A Comprehensive RNA Expression Signature for Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma Prognosis.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Clinicopathological characteristics alone are not enough to predict the survival of patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC) due to clinical heterogeneity. In recent years, many genes and non-coding RNAs have been shown to be oncogenes or tumor-suppressors in CESC cells. This study aimed to develop a comprehensive transcriptomic signature for CESC patient prognosis. Univariate, multivariate, and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator penalized Cox regression were used to identify prognostic signatures for CESC patients from transcriptomic data of The Cancer Genome Atlas. A normalized prognostic index (NPI) was formulated as a synthetical index for CESC prognosis. Time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to compare prognostic signatures. A prognostic transcriptomic signature was identified, including 1 microRNA, 1 long non-coding RNA, and 6 messenger RNAs. Decreased survival was associated with CESC patients being in the high-risk group stratified by NPI. The NPI was an independent predictor for CESC patient prognosis and it outperformed the known clinicopathological characteristics, microRNA-only signature, gene-only signature, and previously identified microRNA and gene signatures. Function and pathway enrichment analysis revealed that the identified prognostic RNAs were mainly involved in angiogenesis. In conclusion, we proposed a transcriptomic signature for CESC prognosis and it may be useful for effective clinical risk management of CESC patients. Moreover, RNAs in the transcriptomic signature provided clues for downstream experimental validation and mechanism exploration.
