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

introductionOral cancer accounts for approximately 2.1% of all cancers worldwide. In India, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common cancer with half a million new cases diagnosed every year. More than 50% of patients eventually develop local recurrence or metastasis usually within the first 2-years following completion of treatment. It is beneficial to analyze the prognostic significance of Cyclin D1, p53 and EGFR which are critical mediators in the pathogenesis of OSCC. The objective of this study was to assess the association of expression of these markers with recurrence and pattern of recurrence in OSCC patients undergoing chemoradiation. MATERIALS AND

methodsA Total 290 OSCC cases of locally advanced stage (III, IV) oral cancer with World Health Organization (W.H.O.) performance status of grade 0/1 in the year 2009-2012 were enrolled in the study. Treatment response was assessed according to W.H.O. criteria. Cyclin D1, EGFR and p53 expression in tumor tissue was estimated by immunohistochemical (IHC) method and quantified as percentage positive nuclei.

resultsDuring the 2-years follow up, 56 (19.3%) patients recurred, out of which, 47 (83.9%) were locoregional and 9 (16.1%) distant sites. On correlating, χ

conclusionOur results signifies that tumors over expressing Cyclin D1, EGFR and p53 are resistant to chemoradiation and are associated with increased risk of locoregional recurrence and metastasis in OSCC patients undergoing chemoradiation.
