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

objectiveHypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC) remains one of the most lethal malignancies in head and neck. Notch1 has been validated to play prominent roles in the occurrence and development of various types of cancer. The aim of this study was to explore the function and underlying mechanism of Notch1 in HSCC. PATIENTS AND

methodsSeventy-one cancer tissue samples and adjacent noncancerous formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue specimens were analyzed by immunohistochemistry. As Notch1 is overexpressed in HSCC, we further questioned whether there was a relationship between Notch1 and the clinicopathological characteristics. After confirming the successful knockdown of Notch1 by siRNA, the migration and invasion after gene knockdown were investigated by Transwell chambers. We then tried to identify YBX1 and EGFR expression using real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and Western blot analyses. To further determine whether the downexpression of EGFR was caused by YBX1 and the overexpression of YBX1 was caused by gene amplification, the expression of EGFR was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot assays.

resultsWe found that the expression of Notch1 and EGFR in HSCC tissues was upregulated compared with those in the adjacent noncancerous tissues. Further clinicopathological characteristics analysis revealed that the expression of Notch1 was positively correlated with distant metastasis (

conclusionTaken together, we found a positively cross-linked role of Notch1 signaling in the outcome of HSCC, providing a novel valuable prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target for the treatment of HSCC patients. Notch1 is a core signaling molecule for regulating migration and invasion via interplaying with EGFR in HSCC cells.
