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

backgroundGermline variation in DNA damage response may explain variable treatment outcomes in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). By grouping patients according to stage and radiation treatment, we compared SCCHN survival with regard to ERCC2 A35931C (Lys751Gln, rs13181) and CCND1 G870A (Pro241Pro, rs9344) genotypes.

methodsIn a hospital-based SCCHN case series (all white, 24.7% female, mean age 58.4 years), this treatment-outcome cohort study genotyped 275 stage III-IV cases that were initially treated with radiation (with or without chemotherapy) and 80 stage III-IV and 130 stage I-II cases that were initially treated without radiation or chemotherapy and used Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses to compare genotype groups on the basis of overall, disease-specific, progression-free, and recurrence-free survival rates.

resultsERCC2 35931 AA predicted worse survival in stage III-IV cases treated with radiation [multiply-adjusted HR = 1.66, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.15-2.40; HR over the first 3 follow-up years = 1.92; 95% CI, 1.28-2.88] and better survival in stage III-IV cases not treated with radiation (HR = 0.26; 95% CI, 0.11-0.62). Although not associated with survival in stage III-IV cancers treated with radiation (HR = 1.00; 95% CI, 0.67-1.51), CCND1-870 GG predicted better survival in stage III-IV cancers not treated with radiation (HR = 0.14; 95% CI, 0.04-0.50). Survival in stage I-II did not depend on ERCC2 A35931C or CCND1 G870A genotype.

conclusionsAlthough promoting tumor progression in untreated patients, germline differences in DNA-repair or cell-cycle control may improve treatment outcome in patients treated with DNA-damaging agents. IMPACT: ERCC2 A35931C may help distinguish advanced stage SCCHN with better outcomes from radiation treatment.
