The serum CK17 and CK19 expressions in cervical cancer patients and their prognostic value.

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.
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 was designed to quantify the serum CK17 and CK19 expressions in cervical cancer (CC) patients and determine their predictive value.
methodsA total of 124 CC patients admitted to Zhejiang North Medical Center (Huzhou Central Hospital) between November 2014 and November 2017 were recruited for the study and placed in a research group (the Res group), and 99 healthy individuals during the same period were also recruited for the study and placed in a control group (the Con group). Their serum CK17 and CK19 expressions were quantified, and the diagnostic significance of the two for CC was analyzed. Additionally, the patients were followed up for three years. The patients were then assigned to favorable and unfavorable prognosis groups, and then the predictive significance of CK17 and CK19 for such patients was evaluated.
resultsThe Res group presented significantly higher serum CK17 and CK19 expression levels than the Con group, and the two factors were positively associated. Additionally, neither of the AUCs for serum CK17 and CK19 in identifying CC were less than 0.800, and the AUC of the combination of the two in identifying it was not smaller than 0.900. The AUC of the combination of serum CK17 and CK19 in identifying unfavorable CC prognoses was approximate 0.850, and high expression levels CK17 and CK19 were closely related with low three-year overall survival rates.
conclusionSerum CK17 combined with serum CK19 is of great diagnostic and predictive significance for CC.
