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

Accumulating evidences suggest that large-scale loss of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) is an epigenetic hallmark in different cancers. However, the levels of 5-hmC in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and its prognostic value in this cancer remain largely unknown. Using dot-blot and quantitative RT-PCR assays, we investigate 5-hmC levels and expression of TET-1, -2 and -3 in LSCCs and explore the association of 5-hmC levels with clinicopathological characteristics and clinical outcome of LSCC patients. Our data showed that 5-hmC was significantly decreased in LSCCs as compared with matched normal tissues. We also found a strong link between decreased 5-hmC and the reduction of TET-1 gene expression, but not TET-2 or -3, suggesting that decreased TET-1 expression was implicated in 5-hmC loss in LSCC. Moreover, Mann-Whitney U tests showed that 5-hmC content was significantly associated with smoking (P = 0.039) and tumor invasion (P = 0.004). Importantly, we found that decreased 5-hmC was significantly associated with poor survival of early-stage LSCC patients (P = 0.043). Altogether, our findings implicate that decreased 5-hmC probaly caused by the reduction of TET-1 is crucial to the clinical pathology of LSCC and is a poor prognostic factor in ealry-stage LSCC patients.
