Apo10 and TKTL1 in blood macrophages as non-invasive biomarkers for early detection of cervical cancer.
Article in Cellular oncology (Dordrecht, Netherlands), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeApo10 and TKTL1 are tumor-associated markers reflecting impaired apoptosis and enhanced glycolysis respectively. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic potential of Apo10, TKTL1, and APT (a combination of Apo10 and TKTL1) in screening early-stage cervical cancer.
methodsA total of 152 patients with cervical cancer and 152 age-matched healthy controls were enrolled at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from November 2020 to August 2023. Clinical data were collected from the Hospital Information System (HIS) and medical records, and blood samples were collected from all participants before treatment using epitope detection in monocytes (EDIM) technology 60 min after their last meal. Descriptive statistics and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to compare the diagnostic performance of Apo10, TKTL1, and APT to those of conventional cervical cancer biomarkers (CEA, CA125, and SCC-A).
resultsMost of the enrolled patients with cervical cancer had early-stage disease (70%) and squamous cell histology (84.9%). The Apo10, TKTL1, and APT levels were significantly higher in the cervical cancer group than in the control group (Apo10:139 vs. 132, TKTL1:121 vs. 114, APT: 260 vs. 246). We also found that Apo10, TKTL1, and APT showed superior diagnostic performance (AUC: 0.864, 0.865, 0.905) compared to traditional markers (CEA: 0.690, CA125: 0.594, SCC-A: 0.806). Sensitivity analysis revealed APT maintained high diagnostic value across tumor stages and in both HPV-negative (AUC = 0.967) and TCT-negative (AUC = 0.958) subgroups.
conclusionApo10, TKTL1, and APT outperform conventional biomarkers in detecting cervical cancer and may serve as reliable diagnostic indicators.
