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

The standard care for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer is concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Successful neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) can reduce tumor size and enable patients to be eligible for a hysterectomy, which can improve their prognosis. Selecting the right candidate for NAC is important since NAC failure results in switching to radiation therapy and can lead to a worse prognosis due to a delay in the initiation of the core therapy. Therefore, the identification of biomarkers that can predict the effect of NAC is essential. Previous reports have suggested a relationship between protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT1) and chemoresistance in several types of cancer. PRMT1 has been demonstrated to methylate apoptosis signal-regulated kinase 1 and to inhibit its activity, thereby contributing to chemoresistance. The present study investigated the association between PRMT1 expression and the efficacy of NAC in locally advanced cervical cancer. Data from 53 patients with locally advanced uterine cervical cancer who were classified into two groups based on effective (n=28) and ineffective (n=25) responses to NAC treatment were evaluated. PRMT1 expression was investigated by immunohistochemistry and scored using a weighted scoring system. Additionally, the present study investigated the effect of RNA interference-mediated downregulation of PRMT1 on the sensitivity of cervical cancer cells to cisplatin
