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

The present study focuses on the correlation between the expression pattern of β-catenin (component of Wnt signaling), ΔNp63 (proliferation marker), and Notch 1 (transmembrane receptor) in oral squamous cell carcinoma. The study also aims to investigate the interaction between β-catenin and ΔNp63 in oral cancer. Furthermore, we also analyzed the prognostic significance of β-catenin, ΔNp63, and Notch 1 in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Immunohistochemical analysis of β-catenin, ΔNp63, and Notch 1 were done in 62 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Co-immunoprecipitation analysis was done to study the possible interaction between β-catenin and ΔNp63 in oral cancer. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate overall and disease-free survival, and the Log-rank test was used to compare the resulting curves. Statistically significant positive correlation was found between the localization of β-catenin and the expression of ΔNp63 (p = 0.001**, r (s) = 0.427), whereas, no significant association was found between the expression pattern of β-catenin and Notch 1. Interestingly, interaction between β-catenin and ΔNp63 was observed in oral carcinoma. Moreover, β-catenin and ΔNp63 may be related to worst survival in oral carcinoma. Statistically significant positive association between localization of β-catenin and expression of ΔNp63 suggests that they might have dependent roles in maintaining the proliferation of oral carcinoma cells. In addition, the downregulated expression of Notch 1 was related to invasion and differentiation status of oral carcinoma cells. Furthermore, β-catenin and ΔNp63 may be used as independent prognostic markers of oral carcinoma. On the other hand, interaction of β-catenin with ΔNp63 may be a key event in maintaining the proliferation of oral carcinoma cells. The present study indicates that β-catenin and ΔNp63 may be used as independent prognostic markers of oral carcinoma and the interaction of β-catenin with ΔNp63 may be a crucial event in regulating proliferation and differentiation of oral carcinoma cells, which may be used as a target for therapeutic implications.
