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

backgroundHeat shock proteins (HSPs) are a family of proteins that are known to play a significant role in the repair of denatured proteins in the cell. It seems that cytoprotective properties of HSPs may help in malignant progression by facilitating tumor cell growth and survival. The purpose of this study is to evaluate HSP27 and HSP70 expression in various histopathological grades of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this retrospective-analytical study, the sections of 51 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded biopsy specimens of SCC from various sites of oral and paraoral regions and 10 normal oral mucosa were immunostained by Novolink Polymer technique to determine the expression of HSP27 and HSP70. Then the data were analyzed according to the Kruskal-Walis, Mann-Whitney and the Spearman correlation tests (P<0.05).

resultsThe expression of HSP27 in well-differentiated SCC was significantly higher than normal epithelium (P=0.007) and in moderately differentiated SCC higher than poorly-differentiated SCC (P=0.023). Inverse correlation was observed between HSP27 expression and SCC's histopathological grade (P=0.001, r=-0.448). There was no significant difference between HSP70 staining of specimens (P=0.38).

conclusionsThe present study revealed that the expression level of HSP27 was inversely related to histopathological grade of SCC and it may provide prognostic value for patients with SCC, but there was no significant relationship between the expression of HSP70 and histopathological grades of SCC.
