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 proliferation marker, securin, is involved in the progression of many carcinomas. However, its expression in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) has not been previously studied. We examined securin expression by immunohistochemistry in OTSCC. A total of 93 cases treated for OTSCC were included in this study. Expression of securin in OTSCC was studied by immunohistochemistry of tissue microarrays (52 cases) and routine tumor sections (41 cases). Securin overexpression is significantly associated with higher tumor grade (P = 0.03). Overexpression of securin was observed more frequently in advanced stages of OTSCC than in earlier stages but the difference was not statistically significant. These findings suggest that overexpression of securin in OTSCC may be important during progression of this cancer. No significant association was found between securin expression and the prognosis of OTSCC.
