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

Cervical cancer is highly prevalent in India, with most cases being diagnosed at advanced stages. Despite the standard concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), 30-40% of patients' experience treatment failure, underscoring the need for improved therapeutic strategies. Understanding resistance mechanisms and identifying predictive biomarkers are crucial to improve treatment efficacy and enable personalized medicine. We conducted a comprehensive genomic and proteomic analysis to identify molecular signatures associated with CCRT. We identified recurrent mutations in phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha isoform (PIK3CA) and histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2D (KMT2D), with mutation signature analysis revealing a prevalent DNA dC- > dU-editing enzyme, APOBEC mutagenesis signature. Distinct genomic alterations, including epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) amplification and serine/threonine kinase 11 (STK11) deletion, were exclusively observed in the chemoradiation-resistant cohort. Proteomic analysis identified 73 significantly dysregulated proteins, with syntaxin-3 (STX3), SERPINB7, lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), EMILIN2, and ribosyldihydronicotinamide dehydrogenase (quinone) (NQO2) being the top five upregulated proteins. Integrative pathway analysis highlighted an active DNA repair pathway in the resistant cohort. This study presents the first proteogenomic profiling of cervical cancer in the Indian population, linking molecular alterations to CCRT response. STK11 and STX3 emerged as predictive biomarkers for poor response, whereas EGFR presents as a promising therapeutic target in the resistant group.
