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 has become a leading cause of death in both HIV-infected and uninfected women. Previous studies have revealed that antiretroviral therapy (ART) possesses anti-human papillomavirus (HPV) and antitumour properties, potentially serving as an anticancer agent and improving functional immunity in HIV-positive individuals. However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies have examined the association between ART and the clinical outcome of patients with pre-existing invasive cervical cancer. The current study analysed 48 HIV-positive and 123 HIV-negative patients with locally advanced stage IB2-IVA cervical cancer between December 2008 and December 2016. Tumours were categorized based on programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunoreactivity and copy number alterations in the PD-L1 gene, as determined by fluorescence
