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

Our study presents the genetic landscape betel quid chewing-associated tongue carcinomas (BQ-TCs). We compared the genetic landscape and mutational signatures of 15 BQ-TCs, five nonbetel quid chewing-associated tongue carcinomas (nBQ-TCs), and 82 tongue carcinomas in general population from the TCGA (TCGA-TCs) project. The highlights of this research mainly include: (a) The genetic landscape of BQ-TC was characterized with frequent mutations in RASA1 gene and in CpG islands throughout the genome. (b) The BQ-TC had a distinct mutational signature from that of nBQ-TC and tongue carcinomas in the general population, and this signature was associated with the mutations in RASA1 and in CpG islands. (c) Our study indicates that betel quid (BQ) chewing classifies a distinct group of tongue carcinoma. The BQ chewing might not contribute to the tumorigenesis of tongue carcinomas as a mutagen.
