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

backgroundHPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is increasing in incidence. Laboratory assays that identify virally-mediated disease and predict HPV clearance in OPSCC may have important prognostic implications.

objectiveHere we investigated serum, salivary HPV16 early (E) antibodies before and after definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in patients with locoregionally advanced OPSCC.

methodsWe prospectively measured salivary, serum samples at the beginning of and 6-7 weeks following the completion of CRT in 44 patients. IgG antibodies targeting N- and C-terminal fragments of E2 (NE2, CE2), E6 and E7 were measured by programmable enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

resultsWe observed serum antibodies directed against HPV-associated E proteins in patients with HPV-associated OPSCC. E7 directed antibodies were detected in saliva in the majority of patients, and were associated with HPV status (p= 0.03). When analyzed longitudinally, median salivary E7 antibody levels decreased significantly post-treatment (p= 0.007).

conclusionsOur results demonstrate the feasibility of measuring HPV16 E antibodies in saliva and serum. E7 antibodies, in particular, are more detectable in saliva as compared with other E protein antibodies. Measuring E7 salivary antibody levels at various time points may have utility in understanding HPV clearance and should be explored for their ability to predict the risk of recurrence.
