CT83 Promotes Cancer Progression by Upregulation of PDL1 in Adenocarcinoma of the Cervix.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. 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
CT83, a cancer-testis antigen, has emerged as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target in various cancers. This study explores its expression and role in cervical adenocarcinoma progression and prognosis. CT83 expression was analyzed in cervical cancer cell lines using quantitative PCR and Western blotting. Functional assays demonstrated that CT83 overexpression (OE) promotes proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cervical cancer cells while also upregulating PD-L1 expression. Conversely, CT83 knockdown reduced these malignant phenotypes. The immunohistochemical analysis of 60 patient samples revealed CT83 expression in 84.9% of cases, with significant correlations to larger tumor size, elevated squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) levels, and advanced FIGO stages (II-IV). Furthermore, intermediate-to-high CT83 expression (H-score ≥100) was associated with more aggressive disease features. These findings suggest that CT83 contributes to tumor progression and immune evasion, likely through PD-L1 modulation. As a highly expressed antigen in cervical adenocarcinoma, CT83 offers promise as a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target for improving patient outcomes.
