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 mechanism underlying OSCC tumorigenesis remains unclear. Periostin is considered to be a prominent oncogene in various solid tumors, although its precise role in OSCC progression remains unknown. In the present study, periostin expression was examined in surgical specimens of OSCC cases, and the results were analyzed for possible correlations with clinical characteristics. In addition, the proliferation and invasiveness of OSCC cells were evaluated following transfection with a Periostin small interfering RNA or an overexpression plasmid. The results revealed that periostin levels were significantly higher in patients with OSCC as compared with those in the controls (P<0.05). In addition, periostin levels in patients with OSCC were significantly associated with permeation classification. Furthermore, periostin expression was observed to promote the proliferation and invasiveness of OSCC cells. The present results suggest that periostin is significantly involved in the pathogenesis of OSCC.
