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

Patients with advanced and recurrent cervical cancer often lack satisfactory treatment outcomes. Thus, it is necessary to seek reliable biomarkers that provide the ability to identify the disease at an early stage and predict the patient prognosis, providing new strategies for the treatment of cervical cancer. The sequencing data of ITGA3 were retrieved from public datasets. Immune infiltration and sensitivity of potential immunotherapy and chemotherapy have been analyzed between two subgroups. Functional analysis was applied to excavate the related pathways of ITGA3 in cervical cancer. Furthermore, the impact of ITGA3 in tumor progression has been verified in vitro. The results revealed that the level of ITGA3 was upregulated in cervical cancer, and was positively correlated with worse prognosis. The tumor microenvironment of patients in the high-risk group was immunosuppressed. Patients in high-risk group may not benefit from immunotherapy, but be may be sensitive to several chemotherapy drugs. Notably, the angiogenesis, epithelial mesenchymal transition, and PI3K pathway were increased in high-risk group. Collectively, ITGA3 is a marker of poor prognosis and promotes tumor progression by regulating PI3K/AKT pathway in cervical cancer. Our results provide new insights for potential molecular targeted therapy and prognostic prediction of cervical cancer.
