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

Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1b (IL-1b), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-a) play an essential role in the regulation of immune response to, and may have prognostic significance in, cancer. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the serum levels of IL-1b, IL-6 and TNF-a as well as the concentrations of soluble TNF receptor I (sTNF-RI) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity. Results obtained were confronted with squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) concentrations. IL-1b IL-6 and TNF-a serum levels as well as sTNF-RI and CRP concentrations were higher in patients than in controls. The increased serum levels appeared to be related to the clinical stage of disease. There was a correlation between IL-1b and sTNF-RI. IL-6 and IL-1b correlated with CRP levels. The mean concentrations of SCC were also elevated. IL-6 and sTNF-RI seemed to be the most sensitive parameters in early stages and may be used as additional markers in oral cancer.
