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

backgroundThe expression of P21 and TBX2 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and their corresponding adjacent normal laryngeal tissues, as well as their association with clinical pathological features and survival remain unclear.

methodwe used the RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry to detect their mRNA and protein levels in 75 LSCC patients. We also use log-rank test and Cox models to compare survival among different groups.

resultsThe mRNA expression level of TBX2 was up-regulated, while P21 was down-regulated in LSCC compared with their matched adjacent laryngeal tissues (All P < 0.001). The expression of P21 was correlated with tumor stage, lymph node metastasis and smoking; and TBX2 expression was associated with lymph node metastasis, differentiation degree and smoking (All P < 0.05). Patients with high TBX2 and low P21 expression had significantly worse survival than those with low TBX2 and high P21 expression, respectively (All P < 0.05). A significant correlation between expression of TBX2 and P21 (Pearson, P < 0.05) was observed. Furthermore, multivariable analysis showed that patients with low TBX2 and high P21 expression alone had a significantly reduced risk for overall death compared with those with low TBX2 and high P21 expression. The risk for overall death was even lower for patients with both low and high expression of both genes than any other co-expression status of both genes (HR, 0.1; 95% CI, 0.0-0.9).

conclusionThese results suggest that abnormal expression of P21 and TBX2 in tumors may jointly, or individually, predict poor prognosis of LSCC.
