MCM10 expression is linked to cervical cancer aggressiveness.
Article in Frontiers in molecular medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Cervical cancer screening is a challenge mainly in developing countries. In developed countries, both incidence and mortality rates have been decreasing due to well organized screening programs. One of the potential biomarkers being exploited are the minichromosome maintenance proteins (MCMs), which show both specificity and sensitivity. MCM2-7 are involved in DNA replication initiation and elongation, and the MCM subunits are highly expressed in malignant tissues. Unlike other MCMs, MCM10, which is not part of the core helicase complex, is a critical determinant of origin activation and its levels are limiting in cancer cells. In this study, we performed bioinformatic analysis on the expression profile of all DNA replication associated MCM proteins in cervical cancer. MCM10 showed a relatively higher expression profile compared to the other MCMs. The mRNA expression levels of the MCMs were significantly increased in tumour tissues compared to normal, and MCM10 showed a fold change of 3.4. In order to understand if MCM10 is associated with the aggressiveness of cervical cancer, we looked into the mRNA expression pattern of MCM10 in three cervical cancer cell lines and one normal cervical cell line. MCM10 expression was significantly higher in the case of the more aggressive cancer cell line HeLa compared to controls. MCM10, therefore, can serve as a prominent biomarker for cancer progression and thus aid in early detection to control the spread of cancer cells. Our results show that MCM10 expression levels in cervical cancer cell lines are associated with cancer aggressiveness, demonstrating its clinical significance.
