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

Solute carrier family 22 member 3 (SLC22A3), also called organic cation transporter 3 (OCT3), is responsible for organic cation transport, which can eliminate many endogenous small organic cations, drugs, and toxins. This study investigated whether SLC22A3 expression is related to cisplatin uptake and the survival of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Using immunohistochemical staining and digital image analysis, SLC22A3 expression was examined in 42 HNSCC patients who were postoperatively treated with or without adjuvant chemotherapy. SLC22A3-overexpressing SCC-4 cells and SLC22A3-knocked down SCC-25 cells were used to investigate the function of SLC22A3 in cisplatin uptake. We found that patients with higher SLC22A3 expression had longer survival times than those with lower SLC22A3 expression (
