Reduction in immune cell number and loss of 5hmC are associated with lesion grade in cervical carcinogenesis.
Article in 3 Biotech, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Tumor genome methylation is closely related to tumor immunosuppression. In the present study, we evaluated the fluctuations in DNA methylation levels, and the numbers of infiltrating T cells and their cytokines in different-grade cervical lesions. A total of 154 human cervical specimens that included LSIL (43 cases), HSIL (48 cases), and cervical squamous cancer (63 cases) were used for this study. Immunohistochemistry for 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and T-cell-attracting chemokines was performed, and multiplex immunofluorescence labeling was used to identify different T-cell subtypes. We found that the proportions of samples that immunostained weakly or negatively for 5hmC were increased commensurately with elevations in the severity of cervical lesions. The expression of T-cell-attracting chemokines-including CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11-was positively associated with 5hmC levels, and CXCL9 was the cytokine that was most pronounced. With the progression of cervical lesions, the numbers of total T cells, CTL, and NK cells in the cervical tissues all gradually decreased. During the occurrence and development of cervical squamous carcinoma, 5hmC was gradually lost, and immunosuppression occurred in precancerous cervical lesions.
