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

Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) transcription factors regulate cellular processes such as inflammation and cell survival. The NF-κB pathway is often activated with development and progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). As such, NF-κB represents an attractive target for chemoprevention. HNSCC involves progression of lesions from premalignant to malignant, providing a window of opportunity for intervention with chemopreventive agents. Appropriate chemopreventive agents should be inexpensive, nontoxic, and target important pathways involved in the development of HNSCC. Several such agents that inhibit the NF-κB pathway have been investigated in HNSCC. Retinoids have been studied most extensively but have shown limited potential in human trials. Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors and PI3K-mTOR inhibitors may benefit a subset of patients. Other agents such as green tea extract and curcumin are appealing because they are generally regarded as safe. In contrast, there is evidence that Vitamin E supplementation may actually increase mortality of cancer patients. Repurposed drugs such as cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors and antidiabetic drugs are an emerging area of interest. Future research to develop agents with lower toxicity and higher specificity for the NF-κB pathway, and to target these therapies to individual patient genetic signatures should help to increase the utility of chemoprevention in HSNCC.
