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

Objective: Concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy (CCRT) has been applied as a therapeutic modality for cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CESC). Our aim is to investigate the potential marker(s) of the efficacy of CCRT in CESC. Material and Methods: Potential candidates predictive of the efficacy of CCRT in CESC were identified. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened, followed by performing functional enrichment analyses. CCRT-related biomarkers were identified. In addition, the CIBERSORT algorithm was employed to determine the immune cell infiltration. Immune cell subsets from donors and specific cytokines were evaluated, and the biological functions of CESC cells following cisplatin treatment or coculture with M2 macrophages were explored. Results: A total of 56 DEGs were singled out. These DEGs were enriched in pathways relevant to CESC and CCRT. They were narrowed down to eight CCRT-related biomarkers with good predictive values. Notably, most of the biomarkers were negatively correlated with M2 macrophages ( Conclusion: This study interpreted and explored the possible predictive values of RGS2 in the efficacy of CCRT in CESC. It may provide other insights for the management of CESC.
