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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the tumor circular RNA_0018289 (circ_0018289) expression and its correlation with clinical characteristics as well as survival profiles in cervical cancer patients.

methodsA hundred and ninety-two cervical cancer patients who received surgical resection were recruited in this prospective study. Tumor tissue and paired adjacent tissue were obtained during the surgery, in which circ_0018289 expression was detected by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were recorded.

resultsCirc_0018289 expression was upregulated in tumor tissue compared with paired adjacent tissue (P < .001), and receiver operative characteristic curve disclosed its good value for separating tumor tissue from adjacent tissue with an area under curve of 0.907 (95% CI: 0.879-0.935). Additionally, tumor circ_0018289 expression was positively associated with tumor size (P = .009), lymph node metastasis (P = .005) and Federation International of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage (P = .005). The DFS (P = .005) and OS (P = .015) were both worse in patients with circ_0018289 high expression compared to patients with circ_0018289 low expression. Meanwhile, in patients with circ_0018289 high expression, DFS and OS were the longest in patients with high+ expression followed by patients with high++ expression, and the shortest in patients with high+++ expression. Moreover, circ_0018289 high expression could independently predict worse DFS in the total cervical cancer patients (P = .042).

conclusionCirc_0018289 could serve as a potential disease monitoring and prognostic biomarker in cervical cancer patients.
