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 (CC) is among the most prevalent cancers among female populations with high recurrence rates all over the world. Cisplatin (DDP) is the first-line treatment for multiple cancers, including CC. The main problem associated with its clinical application is drug resistance. This study is aimed at investigating the function and downstream regulation mechanism of forkhead-box A1 (FOXA1) in CC, which was verified as an oncogene in several cancers. Using GEO database and bioinformatics analysis, we identified FOXA1 as a possible oncogene in CC. Silencing of FOXA1 inhibited CC cell growth, invasion, and chemoresistance. Afterwards, the downstream gene of FOXA1 was predicted using a bioinformatics website and validated using ChIP and dual-luciferase assays. SIX4, a possible target of FOXA1, promoted CC cell malignant aggressiveness and chemoresistance. In addition, overexpression of SIX4 promoted phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT proteins and activated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Further overexpression of SIX4 reversed the repressive effects of FOXA1 knockdown on CC cell growth, invasion, and chemoresistance in DDP-resistant cells. FOXA1-induced SIX4 facilitates CC progression and chemoresistance, highlighting a strong potential for FOXA1 to serve as a promising therapeutic target in CC.
