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

Background: As one of the main causes leading to female cancer deaths, cervical cancer shows malignant features of local infiltration and invasion into adjacent organs and tissues. This study was designed to categorize novel molecular subtypes according to cervical cancer invasion and screen reliable prognostic markers. Methods: Invasion-related gene sets and expression profiles of invasion-related genes were collected from the CancerSEA database and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), respectively. Samples were clustered by nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) to obtain different molecular subgroups, immune microenvironment characteristics of which were further systematically compared. Limma was employed to screen differentially expressed gene sets in different subtypes, followed by Lasso analysis for dimension reduction. Multivariate and univariate Cox regression analysis was performed to determine prognostic characteristics. The Kaplan-Meier test showed the prognostic differences of patients with different risks. Additionally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were applied to validate the prognostic model performance. A nomogram model was developed using clinical and prognostic characteristics of cervical cancer, and its prediction accuracy was reflected by calibration curve. Results: This study filtered 19 invasion-related genes with prognosis significance in cervical cancer and 2 molecular subtypes (C1, C2). Specifically, the C1 subtype had an unfavorable prognosis, which was associated with the activation of the TGF-beta signaling pathway, focal adhesion, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. 875 differentially expressed genes were screened, and 8 key genes were finally retained by the dimension reduction analysis. An 8-gene signature was established as an independent factor predictive of the prognosis of cervical cancer. The signature performance was even stronger when combined with N stage. Conclusion: Based on invasion-related genes, the present study categorized two cervical cancer subtypes with distinct TME characteristics and established an 8-gene marker that can accurately and independently predict the prognosis of cervical cancer.
