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

HoxB9, as a HOX family member, is known to play important roles in embryonic development. Recent studies have shown that HoxB9 is involved in cancer progression. However, little is known about the role of HoxB9 and the underlying mechanisms that suppress oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) progression. In the present study, we used immunohistochemical staining to demonstrate that HoxB9 is over-expressed in OSCC cells and found that high levels of HoxB9 were significantly associated with shorter overall survival in patients with OSCC. Functional studies revealed that knocking down HoxB9 in OSCC cells using RNA interference decreased the migration and invasion of OSCC cells
