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 one of the most common gynecological malignancies and is related to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, especially high-risk type HPV16 and HPV18. Aberrantly expressed genes are involved in the development of cervical cancer, which set a genetic basis for patient prognosis. In this study, we identified a set of aberrantly expressed key genes from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, which could be used to accurately predict the survival rate of patients with cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC). A total of 3,570 genes that are differentially expressed between normal and cancerous samples were analyzed by the algorithm of weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA): 1,606 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were upregulated, while 1,964 DEGs were downregulated. Analysis of these DEGs divided them into 7 modules including 76 hub genes. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis revealed a significant increase of genes related to cell cycle, DNA replication, p53 signaling pathway, cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, and Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway in CESC. These biological activities are previously reported to associate with cervical cancer or/and HPV infection. Finally, we highlighted 5 key genes (
