Single-cell RNA sequencing reveals tumor heterogeneity in small cell neuroendocrine cervical carcinoma.
Article in Communications biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Small cell neuroendocrine cervical carcinoma (SCNECC) is an aggressive gynecological malignancy with poor prognosis. The precision therapeutic strategies for SCNECC are severely limited by the complex tumor microenvironment. Here, we mapped the single-cell landscape of a total of six samples from matched SCNECC cancerous foci and normal adjacent cervical tissues. Through analysis of 68,455 high-quality cells, malignant epithelial cells were identified with increased neuroendocrine differentiation and reduced keratinization. Within four epithelial cell clusters, the key transcription factors ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3, and YAP1 defined molecular subtypes. Transitional trajectory among subtypes characterized two distinct carcinogenesis pathways in SCNECC. The P-type SCNECC showed potentially enhanced immune infiltration over other subtypes. Intercellular communication analysis identified several immune checkpoints and differentially expressed signaling pathways among subtypes. Through western blotting, the TC-YIK cell line was identified as an N-type SCNECC cell with high expression of SLFN11 and mTOR. Based on immunohistochemical staining of malignant subtyping markers, a cohort of 66 SCNECC patients from our hospital were divided into five subtypes. We further combined YAP1 expression with other clinicopathological factors (Cox p < 0.05) to establish a prognostic nomogram. Overall, these findings provide clues for tumorigenesis, precision treatments and prognostic prediction in SCNECC.
