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

Tumor budding (TB) histology has become a critical biomarker for several solid cancers. Despite the accumulating evidence for the association of TB histology with poor prognosis, the biological characteristics of TB are little known about in the context related to the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in uterine cervical cancer (CC). Therefore, this study aimed to identify the transcriptomic immune profiles related to TB status and further provide robust medical evidence for clinical application. In our study, total RNA was extracted and sequenced from 21 CC tissue specimens. As such, 1494 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the high- and low-TB groups were identified by DESeq2. After intersecting the list of DEGs and public immune genes, we selected 106 immune-related DEGs. Then, hub genes were obtained using Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator regression. Finally, the correlation between the hub genes and immune cell types was analyzed and four candidate genes were identified (one upregulated (FCGR3B) and three downregulated (ROBO2, OPRL1, and NR4A2) genes). These gene expression levels were highly accurate in predicting TB status (area under the curve >80%). Interestingly, FCGR3B is a hub gene of several innate immune pathways; its expression significantly differed in the overall survival analysis (p = 0.0016). In conclusion, FCGR3B, ROBO2, OPRL1, and NR4A2 expression can strongly interfere with TB growth and replace TB to stratify CC patients.
