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

As cervical cancer (CC) caused more than 300,000 deaths in the world, it is urgent to identify therapeutic targets to improve survival. Though RUNX1 is overexpressed in CC, its specific role and underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here we presented that RUNX1 was upregulated in CC and associated with poor prognosis. Functional studies demonstrated that RUNX1 acts as an oncogene in CC, with overexpression accelerating cell cycle progression and promoting cell proliferation. Mechanistically, RUNX1 regulates the MAPK pathway by modulating TGFB2 expression, while TGFB2 inhibition impaired MAPK pathway activation and the proliferation driven by RUNX1 overexpression. Comprehensive analyses also suggested that RUNX1 may modulate the immune microenvironment in CC through TGFB2. These findings indicate that RUNX1 promotes CC progression by activating the MAPK pathway through upregulation of TGFB2. Our study provides new insights into the role of RUNX1 in CC proliferation and suggests RUNX1 as a potential therapeutic target in CC.
