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

To verify whether the collagen triple helix repeat containing 1 (CTHRC1) can be used as a potential biomarker in diagnosis of cervical cancer, by evaluating the expression level of CTHRC1 in cervical squamous cell carcinoma patients. In this study, CTHRC1 expression in cervical squamous cell carcinoma, CIN (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) and healthy cervical squamous epithelium were measured by immunohistochemistry. The serum levels of CTHRC1 and SCC-Ag within the all three groups were performed using ELISA. In addition, the ROC curve of CTHRC1 and SCC-Ag as well as combined CTHRC1 and SCC-Ag was demonstrated and analyzed. CTHRC1 was significantly overexpressed in cervical squamous cell carcinoma compared with CIN and healthy control group. And CTHRC1 concentration in serum of cervical squamous cell carcinoma group was also remarkably higher than that in other two groups. The ROC curve showed AUC of CTHRC1 and SCC-Ag was 0.665±0.034 and 0.878±0.027, the sensitivity of them were 57.1% and 77.6%, and the specificity of them were 85.4% and 86%, respectively. Furthermore, AUC of combined CTHRC1 and SCC-Ag was 0.879±0.027, sensitivity was 87.2% and specificity were 84%. Our study indicated that CTHRC1 was highly upregulated not only in the tissue but also in the serum of cervical squamous cell carcinoma patients, which pointed out it can be used as a novel prognostic and metastatic biomarker of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. And combined SCC-Ag and CTHRC1 serological detection may have potential value in the early diagnosis of cervical squamous cell carcinoma and CIN.
