High ALDH-1 Expression Predicts Non-Complete Response of Radiotherapy in Stage III Squamous Cell Cervical Carcinoma Patients.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundALDH1 is a cervical cancer stem cell marker that has radioresistance profile. Recurrence and metastasis following radiotherapy are still being problems of most patients. This study aimed to determine the correlation between ALDH1 and radiotherapy response in stage III squamous cell cervical carcinoma (SCCC) of the cervix.
methodsA total 58 of 360 patients of stage III SCCC who received external beem radiation and brachytherapy (2016-2021) at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital met the eligibility criteria of this study. Pre- and post-irradiation MRI examinations and ALDH expression with immunohistochemistry (Santa Cruz®) were performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded of pre-treatment cervical tissue biopsy taken from RSCM pathological anatomy laboratory. Patients were divided into two groups, complete responders vs non-complete responders. ALDH-1 scores were compared between two groups to assess ALDH-1 expression. The statistical analyses were carried out by SPSS 24.
resultsThe optimal ALDH-1 score cut-off point on the radiation response was 166.05 pg/mL which was obtained from the analysis of the ROC curve. The AUC value was 0.682 with sensitivity and specificity, 63,6% and 64%, respectively. ALDH score ≥166.05 increased the risk by 3.127 times for not achieving complete response (adj OR 3.127, 95% CI 1.034 - 9.456, p = 0.043). Pre-radiation tumor size (p = 0.593), degree of differentiation (p = 0.161), renal abnormalities (p = 0.114), and keratinization (p = 0.477) were not associated with radiation response.
conclusionsHigh ALDH expression was associated with non-complete radiation response in stage III squamous cell cervical carcinoma. <br />.
