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

Lymph node metastasis (LNM) confers significant treatment failure and adverse clinical outcomes in cervical cancer (CCa). However, large unknown lies in the mechanisms underlying LNM in CCa. In this study, we discovered that PRDX3 is elevated in CCa with LNM and associates with poor prognosis in CCa patients. Moreover, multivariate logistic analysis revealed that PRDX3 is an independent predictor of LNM in CCa. Functional investigations demonstrated that PRDX3 promotes invasion, lymphangiogenesis, and LNM of CCa. Mechanistically, PRDX3 activates NF-κB signaling pathway and upregulates the downstream pro-metastatic molecules VEGF-C and MMP-9 in CCa cells. Furthermore, PRDX3 could inhibit the anoikis of detached CCa cells by reducing the ROS level and hence promote LNM in CCa. Importantly, genetic inhibition of PRDX3 potently slows LNM of CCa. These findings highlight a novel PRDX3-mediated mechanism of LNM in CCa and recognize PRDX3 as a promising predictive marker and target of clinical intervention for LNM in CCa.
