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

backgroundHPV-independent cervical cancers (HPV-ind CCs) are uncommon with worse prognosis and poorly understood. This study investigated the molecular characteristics of HPV-ind CCs, aiming to explore new strategies for HPV-ind CCs.

methodsHPV status of 1010 cervical cancer patients were detected by RT-PCR, PCR and RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq). Whole exome sequencing (WES) and RNA-seq were performed in identified HPV-ind CCs. The efficacy of PI3Kα inhibitor BYL719 in HPV-ind CCs was evaluated in cell lines, patient-derived organoids (PDOs) and patient-derived xenografts (PDXs).

resultsTwenty-five CCs were identified as HPV-ind, which were more common seen in older, adenocarcinoma patients and exhibited poorer prognosis as well as higher tumor mutation burden compared to HPV-associated CCs. HPV-ind CCs were featured with highly activated PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, particularly, PIK3CA being the most predominant genomic alteration (36%). BYL719 demonstrated superior tumor suppression in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, HPV-ind CCs were classified into two subtypes according to distinct prognosis by gene expression profiles, the metabolism subtype and immune subtype.

conclusionsThis study reveals the prevalence, clinicopathology, and molecular features of HPV-ind CCs and emphasizes the importance of PIK3CA mutations and PI3K pathway activation in tumorigenesis, which suggests the potential significance of PI3Kα inhibitors in HPV-ind CC patients.
