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

The involvement of human papillomavirus (HPV) in laryngeal and hypopharyngeal lymphoepithelial carcinoma was investigated in a series of ten cases (seven laryngeal and three hypopharyngeal), retrieved from the files of three tertiary hospitals in the 2000-2017 period, through polymerase chain reaction with SPF10 primers and INNO-LiPA HPV Genotyping Extra II (Innogenetics). Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was tested in all cases with in situ hybridization INFORM EBER Probe (Ventana Medical Systems). p16 and p53 expression were immunohistochemically analyzed. Calculated annual incidence was 0.013/100,000, and prevalence was 0.2% of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinomas. All cases were EBV negative. HPV was detected in five cases, three of which also overexpressed p16. HPV16 was detected in four cases, and HPV58 in one case. Five cases were HPV negative, only one of these five overexpressed p16. No recurrence was observed in nine cases during follow-up. The 5-year disease-specific-survival rate was 100%. Mean overall survival was 87 months. Lymphoepithelial carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx are not related to EBV. Simultaneous HPV+/p16+ is consistent with HPV causation in a fraction of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal lymphoepithelial carcinomas.
