Over-expression of TWIST, an epithelial-mesenchymal transition inducer, predicts poor survival in patients with oral carcinoma.

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.
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
TWIST, an epithelial-mesenchymal transition inducer, has been thought to play a critical role in the progression of a number of malignancies. Published studies reporting the association of TWIST expression with oral carcinoma risk has yielded conflicting results. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to address this controversy. After rigorous searching and screening, a total of seven studies were included. The results showed that the TWIST positive expression rate in oral cancer tissues was higher than that in the normal tissues. TWIST expression might have a correlation with clinical features such as low differentiation, advanced clinical stage, presence of lymph node metastasis and local recurrence, but not age, gender, T stage and smoking and drinking. The data suggested that TWIST might play critical roles in the cancer progression and act as a prognostic factor in oral cancer patients.
