METTL3 and intratumoural CD33⁺ MDSCs were predictors for poor survival of CC patients. a, b Kaplan–Meier curves showing the relationship of DFS (P < 0.001, n = 197) and OS (P < 0.001, n = 197) of CC patients and METTL3 expression in tumour cells. c, d Kaplan–Meier curves showing the relationship of DFS (P = 0.002, n = 197) and OS (P < 0.001, n = 197) of patients and METTL3 expression in TILs. e, f Kaplan–Meier curve showing the relationship of DFS (P < 0.001, n = 197) and OS (P < 0.001, n = 197) of CC patients and intratumoural CD33⁺ MDSC density. The percentages of DFS and OS were calculated by the Kaplan–Meier method, and P values were calculated by the log-rank statistic. Cut-off selection was based on X-tile
