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

objectiveChaperonin-containing tailless complex polypeptide subunit 6A (CCT6A) is a critical regulator and newly identified clinical biomarker of several cancers, while its correlation with the clinical characteristics and prognosis of cervical cancer patients is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to explore this issue.

methodsChaperonin-containing tailless complex polypeptide subunit 6A expression in tumor and tumor-adjacent tissues from 198 cervical cancer patients who underwent resection were detected by immunohistochemistry assay and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Besides, the clinicopathological features and survival data of cervical cancer patients were collected.

resultsChaperonin-containing tailless complex polypeptide subunit 6A protein and mRNA levels were both increased in tumor tissues compared with tumor-adjacent tissues (both p < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curves showed that CCT6A protein (AUC: 0.774, 95% CI: 0.729-0.819) and mRNA levels (AUC: 0.904, 95% CI: 0.874-0.934) well discriminated tumor tissues from tumor-adjacent tissues. Besides, correlation analyses found that CCT6A protein and mRNA levels were positively correlated with lymph node metastasis and FIGO stage (all p < 0.05), apart from which CCT6A mRNA level was also positively associated with tumor size (p = 0.032). In addition, CCT6A protein and mRNA levels were negatively correlated with accumulating disease-free survival (both p < 0.05); meanwhile CCT6A mRNA level was negatively associated with accumulating overall survival as well (p = 0.010).

conclusionChaperonin-containing tailless complex polypeptide subunit 6A is elevated in tumor tissues, and its high expression associates with larger tumor size, lymph node metastasis, higher FIGO stage, and worse prognosis in cervical cancer patients.
