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

backgroundRather low vaccination rates for Human papillomavirus (HPV) and pre-existing cervical cancer patients with limited therapeutic strategies ask for more precise prognostic model development. On the other side, the clinical significance of circadian clock signatures in cervical cancer lacks investigation.

methodsSubtypes classification based upon eight circadian clock core genes were implemented in TCGA-CESC through k-means clustering methods. Afterwards, KEGG, GO and GSEA analysis were conducted upon differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between high and low-risk groups, and tumor microenvironment (TME) investigation by CIBERSORT and ESTIMATE. Furthermore, a prognostic model was developed by cox and lasso regression methods, and verified in GSE44001 by time-dependent receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis. Lastly, FISH and IHC were used for validation of CCL20 expression in patients' specimens and U14 subcutaneous tumor models were built for TME composition.

resultsWe successfully classified cervical patients into high-risk and low-risk groups based upon circadian-oscillation-signatures. Afterwards, we built a prognostic risk model composed of GJB2, CCL20 and KRT24 with excellent predictive value on patients' overall survival (OS). We then proposed metabolism unbalance, especially for glycolysis, and immune related pathways to be major enriched signatures between the high-risk and low-risk groups. Then, we proposed an 'immune-desert'-like suppressive myeloid cells infiltration pattern in high-risk group TME and verified its resistance to immunotherapies. Finally, CCL20 was proved positively correlated with real-world patients' stages and induced significant less CD8

conclusionsWe unraveled a prognostic risk model based upon circadian oscillation and verified its solidity. Specifically, we unveiled distinct TME immune signatures in high-risk groups.
