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 (CESC) is the fourth most common and death-causing gynecological cancer, mostly induced by infection of human papillomavirus (HPV). Multiple components of the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as tumor infiltrating immune cells, could be targets of immunotherapy for HPV-related CESC. However, little is known about the TME of CESC until now. Here, we aimed to uncover the pathogenesis as well as to identify novel biomarkers to predict prognosis and immunotherapy efficacy for CESC. Combining the transcriptomic data and clinical characteristics, we identified differentially expressed genes in CESC samples from TCGA database by comparing the two groups with different ImmuneScore and StromalScore. Next, we detected ten key genes based on the PPI network and survival analyses with the univariate Cox regression model. Thereafter, we focused on CD3G, the only gene exhibiting increased RNA and protein expression in tumors by multiple analyses. Higher CD3G expression was associated with better survival; and it was also significantly associated with immune-related pathways through GSEA analysis. Furthermore, we found that CD3G expression was correlated with 16 types of TICs. Single cell RNA-sequencing data of CD3G in lymphocytes subgroup indicated its possible role in HPV defense. Hence, CD3G might be a novel biomarker in prognosis and immunotherapy for CESC patients.
