High expression of PDIA4 promotes malignant cell behavior and predicts reduced survival in cervical cancer.
Article in Oncology reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
The protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) gene family plays important roles in the maintenance of several cellular functions. Previous studies have showed that protein disulfide isomerase family A member 4 (PDIA4) is aberrantly expressed in several types of cancer, and correlates with prognosis of patients. However, the role of PDIA4 in cervical cancer remains unclear. In the present study, the expression pattern of PDIA4 from both public database and immunohistochemical analysis in cervical samples was analyzed. Cell Counting Kit‑8 and Transwell assays were performed to determine the effect of PDIA4 on cervical cancer cell proliferation and migration. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to provide the associated enriched pathways of PDIA4 in regulating cervical tumorigenesis. It was observed that mRNA expression and protein level of PDIA4 were upregulated in cervical cancer tissues. High expression of PDIA4 was significantly associated with poor overall survival (P=0.0095) and relapse‑free survival (P=0.0019) in The Cancer Genome Atlas cohort. Knockdown of PDIA4 inhibited cervical cancer cell proliferation and migration. Moreover, PDIA4 affected the expression of proliferation‑related molecules (cyclin D1 and PCNA) and migration‑related molecules (E‑cadherin and Vimentin). Additionally, GSEA revealed that PDIA4 was significantly associated with gene signatures involving glycan biosynthesis, glycosaminoglycan degradation and protein export. In conclusion, the present findings highlighted the importance of PDIA4 in cervical oncogenesis, and suggested that targeting PDIA4 may be a potential therapeutic application for cervical cancer.
