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

ERBB3, a member of the ERBB family of receptor tyrosine kinases, plays an important role in cancer, despite its lack of intrinsic carcinogenic mechanism of cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC). Research on bioinformatics methods through multi-omics, this work proves that ERBB3 gene mutation, methylation modification have extensive regulatory mechanisms on the CESC microenvironment. We found that ERBB3 is involved in carcinogenesis of cervical cancer and is not associated with its prognosis. The carcinogenic mechanism is mainly related to the suppression of the immune system between tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and the methylation of the RNA level. Our study indicated ERBB3 is more likely to be a carcinogenic factor than a key prognostic factor for cervical cancer. Methylation of ERBB3 may work as a checkpoint immunotherapy target in CESC, DNA methylation modification of the 4480 base pair downstream of ERBB3 transcription initiation site was the highest.
