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

Cervical cancer (CC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women and is strongly associated with persistent infection by high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV), particularly the HPV16 subtype. Existing detection methods have limitations in meeting clinical requirements. This study aims to identify biomarkers that can aid in the staging and prognosis of cervical cancer. Cervical epithelial exfoliated cell samples were collected from three groups: HPV16-negative normal cervix, HPV16-positive normal cervix, and HPV16-positive cervical cancer. Differential expression proteins (DEPs) were identified using TMT-LC-MS/MS technology, and their associations with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and immune regulatory molecules were analyzed. Leukocyte-specific protein 1 (LSP1), an intracellular F-actin-binding protein predominantly expressed in macrophages, neutrophils, B cells, and T cells, was identified as a potential biomarker. The expression levels of LSP1 were evaluated and validated using the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database, immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western blotting (WB), and real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry (mIHC) was employed to assess the co-localization of LSP1 with CD4
