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

In women all over the world, cervical cancer (CC) ranks as the fourth most common form of cancer to be diagnosed. It was previously reported that transmembrane protein 33(TMEM33) could report a poor prognosis in several cancers. The current study is aimed at investigating the potential prognostic value of TMEM33 and its relevance to the tumor microenvironment in CC in a comprehensive manner. In this study, CC specimens presented noticeably higher TMEM33 expression level in comparison to nontumor specimens. In pan-cancer assays, it was found that TMEM33 was present at a high level in many different kinds of tumors. We found that patients with CC patients who had a high TMEM33 expression presented worse overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) relative to patients who had a low TMEM33 expression. According to the results of a multivariate analysis, a high level of TMEM33 expression can significantly and independently predict the prognosis of CC. The levels of TMEM33 were found to have a negative correlation with resting dendritic cells, resting mast cells, plasma cells, T cells CD8, T cells regulatory, and regulatory T cells. Finally, we confirmed that TMEM33 was overexpressed in CC cells, and its knockdown distinctly suppressed the proliferation and invasion of CC cells. Overall, we provided evidences that TMEM33 could be used as a potential biomarker to assess the prognosis and the level of immune infiltration in CC.
