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

introductionEGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), cyclin D1 and Akt/mTOR pathways are active in head and neck cancer. The aim of this study was to explore biomarker expression, their correlations with clinicopathological parameters and their prognostic utility in a cohort of patients with localized squamous laryngeal carcinoma. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe assessed relative messenger RNA expression of EGFR, Akt1, 2, and 3, mTOR and CCND1, copy number variants of the EGFR and CCND1 genes and immunohistochemical protein expression of EGFR, p-Akt308, p-Akt473, pmTOR, PTEN, p53 and cyclin D1 in paraffin-embedded tissue samples of localized laryngeal carcinomas.

resultsIn 289 patients with T3-4 (77.8%), node-negative (84.1%) tumors of the larynx, high EGFR and CCND1 mRNA correlated with no or ex-smoking, (p = 0.003 and p = 0.029, respectively), while low Akt3 mRNA correlated with alcohol abuse, N0 stage, total laryngectomy, and absence of neck dissection. At a median follow-up of 74.5 months, high mTOR mRNA expression was marginally associated with shorter disease-free survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.54; p = 0.093) and high Akt3 mRNA with shorter overall survival (HR = 1.49; p = 0.0786), in univariate analysis. In multivariate analysis, node-positive status, subglottic-transglottic location, surgery other than total laryngectomy and mTOR/CCND1 mRNA interaction with a hazard ratio of 2.16 (p value for interaction:  0.0010) were independent predictors of relapse, while node-positive status and subglottic-transglottic location were associated with higher risk for death.

conclusionIn localized laryngeal cancer, clinicopathological parameters and an interaction of high mTOR and CCND1 mRNA expression were found to be associated with poor patient outcome.
