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

Proline rich 11 (PRR11) serves an important role in the development and progression of a number of types of human cancer. However, the clinical role of PRR11 in tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) remains unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the expression and clinicopathological significance of PRR11 in TSCC. The Cancer Genome Atlas analysis demonstrated that the upregulation of PRR11 in TSCC correlated with poor prognosis. The data of the present study revealed that PRR11 mRNA and protein expression was markedly upregulated in human TSCC tissues. Immunohistochemistry on 72 archived paraffin-embedded TSCC specimens suggested that high levels of PRR11 expression were significantly associated with clinical stage (P<0.001), T classification (P=0.009), N classification (P=0.017) and vital status (P=0.010). In addition, patients with TSCC with higher PRR11 expression exhibited substantially shorter survival times compared with patients with lower PRR11 expression (P<0.001). Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that PRR11 upregulation may be an independent prognostic factor for patients with TSCC (P=0.001). Taken together, and to the best of our knowledge, the results of the present study demonstrated for the first time that PRR11 is involved in the development and progression of TSCC, and may serve as a useful prognostic marker and an effective target for treating TSCC.
