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 (CC) is the most common gynecological malignant tumor. Immunotherapy has become a new model for the treatment of CC, especially advanced and recurrent cancer. At present, many studies are exploring the safety and efficacy of immunotherapy for advanced or recurrent CC. In this study, CIBERSORT was used to analyze the immune cell infiltration in CC patients, to evaluate the proportion of immune cell types in CC samples, to quantify the cell composition of the immune response, and to analyze its prognostic value. The expression profile datasets of CC were downloaded from the GEO. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between CC and normal cervical tissues were identified via R software (version 4.1.1), and their functions and pathways were enriched and analyzed. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed to screen the hub gene. Immune cell infiltration in CC was analyzed via scientific reverse convolution algorithm (CIBERSORT), and the hub gene was analyzed via survival analysis to screen the diagnostic biomarkers of CC. A total of 144 DEGs and 12 hub genes were identified. DEGs are mainly involved in molecular functions such as serine-peptidase activity, serine-hydrolase activity, and chemokine activity. The enrichment pathway is closely related to the interaction between viral proteins and cytokines and cytokine receptors, the interleukin 17 signaling pathway, and chemokine signaling pathway. The immune cell infiltration analysis showed that T cells were the main infiltrating immune cells in CC, especially T cells CD8+ and CD4+ . The survival analysis of the hub gene showed that CEP55, MCM2, RFC4, and RRM2 had high diagnostic value. CEP55, MCM2, RFC4, and RRM2 can be used as diagnostic markers for CC. CD8+ and CD4+ T cells are closely related to the occurrence and development of CC.
