NDRG1/2 as a prognostic predictive biomarker of cervical cancer and its correlation with immune infiltration.
Article in Biomarkers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 leading cause of cancer-related death in women. The N-myc down-stream regulatory gene (NDRG) family has an unclear prognostic role in CC.
methodsWe analyzed NDRG mRNA and protein levels in CC using public databases. And NDRG1 expression was verified through immunohistochemistry in clinical samples. Additionally, we utilized other bioinformatics tools to analyze the correlations between NDRG and survival, as well as immune infiltration.
resultsNDRG1 was elevated, and NDRG2 was reduced in CC tissues. High NDRG1 and low NDRG2/3 correlated with poorer survival and were associated with reduced immune cell infiltration, particularly CD8+ T cells. Genetic alterations in NDRG1/2/3 were primarily amplifications, while DNA hypomethylation of NDRG1 in CC tissues, particularly at specific CpG sites, was associated with prognosis. PPI and enrichment analyses implicated NDRGs in metabolic processes, HIF-1 signaling, and immune regulation, underscoring their roles in CC progression and prognosis.
conclusionsNDRG1/2 present potential as new prognostic biomarkers, shedding light on therapeutic targets for CC.
