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 a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Among CC patients, venous thromboembolism (VTE) represents the second leading cause of death, surpassed only by the malignancy itself. This life-threatening condition is characterised by blood stasis, heightened tendency for blood clotting (blood hypercoagulability), and endothelial dysfunction (ED). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ED-associated genes are believed to influence an individual’s susceptibility to VTE. Furthermore, these genetic variants may impact treatment response and long-term CC patient outcomes, given the close interaction between cancer and thrombosis. METHODS AND

resultsIn this study, the implications of four ED-related SNPs were analysed in a cohort of 379 CC patients. The SNP NOS3 rs2070744 was significantly associated with the 10-year overall survival (OS) of young patients (≤ 49 years). In addition, this SNP was identified as a predictor of mortality risk in this subgroup, independent of CC stage (< IIB vs. ≥ IIB) and VTE status (yes vs. no) (CC vs. CT/TT; hazard ratio (HR) = 1.90, p = 0.025). Incorporating NOS3 rs2070744 into a predictive clinical model increased prognostic precision regarding patient survival by 15% compared to cancer stage alone. For the remaining SNPs, NOS3 rs1799983, vWF rs1063856 and SELP rs6136, no significant association with OS was detected (log-rank test, p > 0.05).

conclusionThese results underscore the role of NOS3 rs2070744 in CC patients and highlight the potential of integrating genetic markers into prognostic models to support personalised treatment strategies for these patients.
