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

backgroundCervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most frequently diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide, however, the treatment options for advanced CC are limited. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the clinic for reliable prognostic models to guide clinical decision-making.

methodsWe conducted differential gene expression analysis on cervical cancer samples and normal samples to obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs). We used WGCNA analysis to identify the most relevant module associated with cervical cancer and intersected with DEGs to obtain cervical cancer-related genes. We then constructed a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network using these genes and identified core genes using the Hubba plugin in Cytoscape software. Subsequently, we built a prognostic model using the identified cervical cancer-related genes in combination with the TCGA database. GSE44001 was used to verify the accuracy of the model. We performed a single-gene survival analysis on the genes involved in model construction.

resultsWe obtained 52 cervical cancer-related genes and 22 core genes (DNA2, CEP55, GINS1, RFC4, KIF14, GINS2, MYBL2, KIF4A, RAD54L, KNTC1, SPAG5, MELK, CENPE, MCM2, NCAPH, MCM5, ASPM, HELLS, DTL, FOXM1, TOP2A, CDC45). We successfully constructed a prognostic model using cervical cancer-related genes. The comprehensive analysis showed that the constructed prognostic model could effectively predict the prognosis of cervical cancer patients, with AUC values of 0.858, 0.802, and 0.797 for 1, 3, and 5 years in the training group, respectively. The results were consistent in the validation using the GSE44001 dataset. Single-gene survival analysis showed that APOD was an independent prognostic biomarker for cervical cancer.

conclusionAPOD is a prognostic biomarker for cervical cancer, and the prognostic model constructed by identified cervical cancer-related genes can successfully distinguish the prognosis of patients with cervical cancer.
