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

To identify potential biomarkers of lingual cancer, 75 female C57BL/6J mice were subjected to 16-week oral delivery of 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide (4NQO; 50 mg/L), with 10 mice used as controls. Lingual mucosa samples representative of normal tissue (week 0) and early (week 12) and advanced (week 28) tumorigenesis were harvested for microarray and methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeDIP-Seq). Combined analysis with Short Time-series Expression Miner (STEM), the Cytoscape plugin cytoHubba, and screening of differentially expressed genes enabled identification of 63 hub genes predominantly altered in the early stage rather than the advanced stage. Validation of microarray results was carried out using qRT-PCR. Of 63 human orthologous genes, 35 correlated with human oral squamous cell carcinoma. KEGG analysis showed "pathways in cancer", involving 13 hub genes, as the leading KEGG term. Significant alterations in promoter methylation were confirmed at Tbp, Smad1, Smad4, Pdpk1, Camk2, Atxn3, and Cdh2. HDAC2, TBP, and EP300 scored ≥10 on Maximal Clique Centrality (MCC) in STEM profile 11 and were overexpressed in human tongue cancer samples. However, expression did not correlate with smoking status, tumor differentiation, or overall survival. These results highlight potentially useful candidate biomarkers for lingual cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
