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 remains the second leading cause of female cancer mortality worldwide, with metastasis representing a critical therapeutic challenge. This study systematically reveals the key role of SERPINH1 (Serpin Family H Member 1) as a hub regulator of malignant progression in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and endocervical adenocarcinoma (CESC). Through analysis of TCGA-CESC datasets, we identified that high SERPINH1 expression is significantly correlated with poor prognosis and contributes to tumor progression by promoting cell proliferation, invasion, and metastatic phenotypes. In vitro experiments validated these findings, demonstrating that SERPINH1 overexpression markedly enhanced the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of cervical cancer cells, whereas its knockdown substantially inhibited these processes. Furthermore, based on the SERPINH1-related differentially expressed genes, a prognostic risk model was constructed, successfully identifying PLOD1, ITGA5, and ESM1 as core collaborative genes affecting patient prognosis. Overall, our findings underscore the multiple functions of SERPINH1 as a hub for cervical cancer metastasis regulation, suggesting its potential as a promising biomarker for tailoring strategies in metastasis patients of CESC.
