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 investigated the expression of p8, a transcription factor upregulated in some human cancers, in oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs). Immunohistochemical analysis of p8 expression was carried out on 20 archived surgical specimens of human OSCCs, and expression correlated with clinical outcome parameters in a retrospective study. Expression of p8 in a number of OSCC cell lines also was investigated by western blot and RT-PCR analyses. p8 was expressed in 80 % (16/20) of the samples with levels of expression exhibiting a significant difference (χ(2) = 8.352, df = 3, p = 0.039) by patient age. Furthermore, greater levels of p8 immunoreactivity was significantly associated with advanced tumor grade (p = 0.008). p8 also was upregulated in OSCC cell lines. p8 is expressed in a significant proportion of OSCCs, and in human OSCC cell lines, suggesting a potential value of p8 as a diagnostic and/prognostic tool for oral cancers.
