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

Background: To investigate key genes and immune microenvironment dynamics in cervical cancer progression and radiochemotherapy (RCT), focusing on cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP)-mediated neutrophil regulation. Methods: Integrated transcriptomic data from TCGA, GTEx, and GEO were analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes associated with cervical cancer (CC) and RCT. Prognostic genes were selected via univariate and multivariate Cox regression. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) characterized cellular composition, gene expression, and neutrophil subsets. CAMP-high and CAMP-low neutrophils were analyzed for differential expression, functional enrichment, pseudotime trajectories, and cell-cell communication. Results: Three prognostic genes (CAMP, CCDC116, and GLB1L3) were identified, with CAMP highly expressed in cervical cancer tissues but markedly downregulated after RCT. At the single-cell level, CAMP showed significant differential expression in tumor-associated and RCT-related neutrophils. Differential analysis and GO enrichment of neutrophils stratified by CAMP expression revealed enhanced innate immune activation, cytokine signaling, and granule secretion features following RCT. Pseudotime analysis demonstrated that CAMP expression gradually increased as neutrophils differentiated toward tumor-associated states, whereas it significantly decreased at terminal states after RCT. Cell-cell communication analysis further indicated that CAMP-high neutrophils exhibited strengthened signaling with fibroblasts and epithelial cells, particularly involving key ligands such as CXCL, COL1, and LAMC; RCT effectively suppressed tumor-specific inflammatory and extracellular matrix remodeling signals. Conclusion: CAMP is a key regulator of neutrophil differentiation and tumor immune microenvironment remodeling in cervical cancer and during RCT. Its modulation of cell-cell communication networks suggest potential as a biomarker for treatment response and a therapeutic target.
