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

objectiveImmunohistochemical over expression of p53 is considered as a marker of poor prognosis in many cancers. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate immunohistochemical overexpression of p53 in 121 cases of head and neck Squamous cell carcinoma and its association with various clinicopathologic features and survival.

resultsTotal 66.1% (80 cases) expressed positive p53 expression, 34% (29 cases) revealed no p53 expression, while focal positive p53 expression was noted in 9.9% (12 Cases). Moreover, high p53 expression (> 70%) was noted in 26.4% (32 cases), while 19% (23 cases) showed 51-70% p53 expression. On the basis of intensity of p53 staining; strong p53 expression was noted in 39.7% (48 cases), while 24.8% (30 cases) and 10.7% (13 cases) revealed intermediate and weak p53 expression respectively. Significant association of p53 intensity of expression with extranodal extension and higher tumor grade (grades II and III) was noted. p53 is useful prognostic biomarker in head and neck Squamous cell carcinoma and therefore we suggest that more large scale studies are needed to evaluate its prognostic significance in our population.
