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 is one of the most common female malignancy that occurs worldwide and is reported to cause over 300,000 deaths in 2018. Autophagy controls the survival and death of cancerous cells by regulating the degradation process of cytoplasm and cellular organelle. In the present study, the differentially expressed autophagy-related genes (ARGs) between healthy and cancerous cervical tissues (squamous cell neoplasms) were obtained using data from GTEx and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The functionalities of the differentially expressed ARGs were analyzed using Gene Ontology (GO) as well as the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database. Next, we conducted univariate Cox regression assay and obtained 12 ARGs that were associated with the prognosis of cervical cancer patients. We carried out a multivariate Cox regression analysis and developed six ARG-related prognostic signature for the survival prediction of patients with squamous cell cervical cancer (Risk score = - 0.63*ATG3-0.42*BCL2 + 0.85*CD46-0.38*IFNG+ 0.23*NAMPT+ 0.82*TM9SF1). Following the calculation of risk score using the signature, the patients were divided into high and low-risk groups according to the median value. Kaplan-Meier curve demonstrated that patients with a high-risk score tend to have a poor prognosis (P < 0.001). The value for area under the curves corresponding to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was 0.740. As observed, the expression of IFNG was negatively associated with lymph node metastasis (P = 0.026), while a high-risk score was significantly associated with increased age (P = 0.008). To further validate the prognostic signature, we carried out a permutation test and confirmed the performance of the risk score. In conclusion, our study developed six ARG-related prognostic signature for patients with squamous cell cervical cancer, which might help in improving the prognostic predictions of such patients.
