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

We investigated the relationship of different primary subsites together with their pathological features on the survival of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) patients. We retrospectively reviewed OCSCC patients and documented their demographic data, pathological features and clinical outcome. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to examine the influence of various pathological features on the prognosis in different subsites of oral cavity. There were totally 1,383 OCSCC patients enrolled for final analysis. Perineural invasion had a poor prognosis at the early stage of OCSCC patients especially those with primary at the tongue. In addition, lymphovascular invasion was associated with poor survival at the late stage especially those with primary at the buccal mucosa and the tongue. The impact of pathological features on the survival of OCSCC patients varied in different subsites. Further investigation is warranted to validate our finding in a multicenter study. Grouping the different markers to establish a prognostic scoring system may provide more accurate evaluation of the prognosis in OCSCC patients.
