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

backgroundp63, a member of p53 family, known to be expressed in embryonic tissues and basal regenerative layers of many epithelial tissues in the adult, is also expressed in various benign and malignant lesions of body including lesions of oral cavity. To evaluate the expression of p63 and compare the expression qualitatively and quantitatively in normal buccal mucosa, epithelial dysplasia, oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

methodsThe study material consisted of 45 archival cases which were divided into Group I with 5 cases of normal buccal mucosa, Group II with 15 cases of epithelial dysplasia, and Group III with 10 cases of OSMF and 15 cases of OSCC. Immunohistochemical expression of p63 was assessed by using mean, standard deviation, and analysis of variance.

resultsOverexpression of p63 was seen in epithelial dysplasia, OSMF, and squamous cell carcinoma with an increased suprabasal expression in cases of epithelial dysplasia. The mean labeling index (LI) of p63 was found to be in increasing order from normal oral mucosa (33.75%), OSMF (57.37%), epithelial dysplasia (63.87%) to squamous cell carcinoma (69.76%).

conclusionThe results suggest a possible role of p63 in oral carcinogenesis, and an increased LI as well as increased suprabasal expression of this gene in dysplastic lesions may have a potential to be utilized as a marker for premalignancy.
