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

Background: Gastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (GAS), the predominant non-human papillomavirus cervical cancer, is highly aggressive with poor prognosis. No drugs are effective against advanced or recurrent GAS. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics of GAS, evaluate the expression of targets for targeted drug therapy, and assess the predictive value of Immunoscore for prognosis. Design: The study retrospectively analyzed the clinical and pathological characteristics and follow-up data of 107 cases of GAS and 523 of human papillomavirus-associated cervical adenocarcinoma (HPVA) treated surgically at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between January 2015 and December 2022. Methods: Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of Tumor Protein 53 (P53), p16 protein (P16), Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2, Mucin 6, Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1), Claudin 18.2, and immune markers Cluster of Differentiation 3/Cluster of Differentiation 8 in tumors. Ridge regression analysis was employed to obtain an Immunoscore, and receiver-operating characteristic curves were used to calculate the cutoff value to divide the Immunoscores into the low-risk and high-risk groups. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards regression model were used in the survival and multivariate analyses, respectively. Results: Compared with HPVA, GAS was associated with later staging, larger tumor size, deeper invasion, and higher risks of lymph node metastasis, lymphovascular space invasion, parametrial involvement, ovarian metastasis, and peritoneal metastasis ( Conclusion: GAS is extremely aggressive and prone to recurrence and has a poor prognosis. The Immunoscore is an independent prognostic factor of GAS. Claudin 18.2 is expressed at high rates in GAS and is a potential therapeutic target.
