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

objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the biological role and molecular mechanism of the RNA m

methodsDifferential expression and survival analyses were performed using TCGA and GEPIA datasets. Functional enrichment and GSEA identified pathways associated with NSUN4 dysregulation. NSUN4 expression was validated in clinical tissues by qRT-PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry. Gain- and loss-of-function assays, including CCK-8, colony formation, and Transwell assays, were conducted to assess cell proliferation and invasion. Furthermore, a nude mouse subcutaneous xenograft model was established to validate the oncogenic role of NSUN4 in vivo. Ferroptosis was evaluated using specific inhibitors and measurement of GSH and ferroptosis-related proteins. RIP, m

resultsNSUN4 was markedly upregulated in cervical cancer tissues and correlated with poor prognosis. Functionally, NSUN4 enhanced tumor cell growth, migration, and invasion while inhibiting ferroptosis. Mechanistically, NSUN4 bound to and stabilized C-MYC mRNA via m

conclusionsNSUN4 promotes cervical cancer progression by stabilizing C-MYC mRNA through m
