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

Human papillomavirus (HPV) integration is a critical step in cervical cancer development; however, the oncogenic mechanism at the genome-wide transcriptional level is still poorly understood. In this study, we employed integrative analysis on multi-omics data of six HPV-positive and three HPV-negative cell lines. Through HPV integration detection, super-enhancer (SE) identification, SE-associated gene expression and extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) investigation, we aimed to explore the genome-wide transcriptional influence of HPV integration. We identified seven high-ranking cellular SEs generated by HPV integration in total (the HPV breakpoint-induced cellular SEs, BP-cSEs), leading to intra-chromosomal and inter-chromosomal regulation of chromosomal genes. The pathway analysis revealed that the dysregulated chromosomal genes were correlated to cancer-related pathways. Importantly, we demonstrated that BP-cSEs existed in the HPV-human hybrid ecDNAs, explaining the above transcriptional alterations. Our results suggest that HPV integration generates cellular SEs that function as ecDNA to regulate unconstrained transcription, expanding the tumorigenic mechanism of HPV integration and providing insights for developing new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
