Chemical immune conization of precancerous cervical lesions awakens immune cells and restores normal HPV negative and abnormal proliferation.

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
Background: Cervical cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancers in women, which is closely linked to the persistent infection of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). Current treatment of cervical cancer involves radical hysterectomy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy or a combination. Objective: We investigated if hapten-enhanced intratumoral chemotherapy (HEIC) was effective in boosting immunity for effective treatment of precancerous cervical lesions and HPV infection. Study design: We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) to obtain transcriptome profiles of 40,239 cells from biopsies of precancerous cervical lesions from the cervix directly from one patient before the start of HEIC and approximately 1 week after HEIC. The blood samples were taken at the same time as biopsies. We compared the expression characteristics of malignant epithelial cells and immune cells, including epithelial cells, endothelial cells (ECs), fibroblasts, mural cells, T cells, B cells, T and NK neutrophils, mast cells, microparticles (MPs), and platelets, as well as the dynamic changes in cell percentage and cell subtype heterogeneity. Results: Intratumoral injection of chemotherapy drug plus hapten induces an acute immune response in precancerous cervical lesions with HPV and further awakens immune cells to prevent the abnormal proliferation of the precancerous cells. Conclusion: HEIC provides a potential treatment method for cervical cancer and HPV infection tailored to each patient's condition.
