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

objectivesHuman papillomavirus (HPV) infects basal cells of the stratified squamous epithelium through micro epithelial trauma. However, laryngeal papillomatosis commonly appears in any site on the laryngeal mucosa not covered by stratified squamous epithelium. The purpose of this study is to clarify pathological mechanisms of laryngeal papillomatosis based on the characteristics of the laryngeal epithelium. STUDY

designMorphological and immunohistochemical study.

methodsLarynges from one newborn and two adults were used. Morphological differences in the laryngeal squamo-ciliary junction (lSCJ) were compared to those in the cervical squamo-columnar junction (cSCJ) in a resected cervix uterus. Morphological characteristics of laryngeal epithelial distribution were also compared between the newborn and adult larynges. Immunohistochemical evaluations were performed using p63 (an epithelial stem-cell marker) and integrin-α6 (a cellular HPV receptor).

resultsMorphological differences were noted between the lSCJ and the cSCJ. The lSCJ was present in the adult, but not the newborn supraglottis. Goblet cells in the pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium were also found in the adult but not the newborn larynx. In addition, basal cells of the stratified squamous epithelium as well as the pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium expressed p63 and integrin-α6 in both newborn and adult larynges.

conclusionsHPV can infect any immature laryngeal epithelium with or without the lSCJ. Squamous metaplasia of pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with a latent HPV infection can also cause tumorigenesis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: N/A.
