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 a female-specific cancer with relatively high morbidity and mortality. As known to all, immune cell infiltrations in the cancer microenvironment are closely related to the cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Here we revealed that the CD8+ T cell infiltration was significantly upregulated in cervical cancer versus normal cervix uteri samples. Through univariate and multivariate cox analyses, we discovered that the CD8+ T cell infiltration was the only independent beneficial factor for the prognosis of cervical cancer. To explore the genes associated with the CD8+ T cell infiltration in cervical cancer, we performed the WGCNA analysis on the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of cervical cancer versus normal cervix uteri tissues. As a result, 231 DEGs were found to be associated with CD8+ T cell infiltration in cervical cancer. Subsequently, with the Cytoscape analysis, we identified 105 hub genes out of the 231 DEGs. To further explore the genes that might be responsible for the prognosis of cervical cancer, we performed a univariate cox analysis followed by a LASSO assay on the 105 hub genes and located four genes (IGSF6, TLR10, FCRL3, and IFI30) finally. The four genes could be applied to the prediction of the prognosis of cervical cancer, and relatively higher expression of these four genes predicted a better prognosis. These findings contributed to our understanding of the prognostic values of CD8+ T cell infiltration and its associated genes in cervical cancer and thus might benefit future immune-related therapies.
