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 a serious threat to women's health and lives worldwide. The recovery and survival of cervical cancer can be improved by customizing therapy strategies based on individual-specific gene expression patterns. EFNA1 was reported to be dysregulated in many cancers and associated with their overall survivals, but its prognostic value in cervical cancer is still unclear. In this study, we performed analyses on the single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing data to study the role of EFNA1 in cervical cancer. EFNA1 was found to be significantly upregulated in cervical cancer tissue, especially the cancer cell subgroup within tumors, which was verified by immunohistochemistry. Through Cox regressions, we found that high EFNA1 expression is an independent risk factor for cervical cancer. Nomogram analysis indicated that EFNA1 could be a predicting factor for the survival probabilities of cervical cancer. Gene ontology and pathway analyses showed that EFNA1 was involved in many tumorigenesis pathways, protein, and virus productions. These findings suggested that EFNA1 could be a prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target for cervical cancer.
