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

objectiveLymph node metastasis (LNM) and lymphatic vasculature space infiltration (LVSI) in cervical cancer patients indicate a poor prognosis, but satisfactory methods for diagnosing these phenotypes are lacking. This study aimed to find new effective plasma biomarkers of LNM and LVSI as well as possible mechanisms underlying LNM and LVSI through data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteome sequencing.

methodsA total of 20 cervical cancer plasma samples, including 7 LNM-/LVSI-(NC), 4 LNM-/LVSI + (LVSI) and 9 LNM + /LVSI + (LNM) samples from a cohort, were subjected to DIA to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) for LVSI and LNM. Subsequently, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed for DEP functional annotation. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) and weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) were used to detect new effective plasma biomarkers and possible mechanisms.

resultsA total of 79 DEPs were identified in the cohort. GO and KEGG analyses showed that DEPs were mainly enriched in the complement and coagulation pathway, lipid and atherosclerosis pathway, HIF-1 signal transduction pathway and phagosome and autophagy. WGCNA showed that the enrichment of the green module differed greatly between groups. Six interesting core DEPs (SPARC, HPX, VCAM1, TFRC, ERN1 and APMAP) were confirmed to be potential plasma diagnostic markers for LVSI and LNM in cervical cancer patients.

conclusionProteomic signatures developed in this study reflected the potential plasma diagnostic markers and new possible pathogenesis mechanisms in the LVSI and LNM of cervical cancer.
