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

C6orf141 (Chromosome 6 open reading frame 141) is a novel gene, and its role in oral cancer progression remains unclear. C6orf141 expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and adjacent normal tissues from 428 patients was examined through immunohistochemistry (IHC). Our results revealed that C6orf141 expression was significantly reduced in OSCC compared with adjacent normal tissues. Low C6orf141 expression was significantly associated with a poor American Joint Committee on Cancer pathological stage (P < 0.001), T classification (P = 0.002), and pN stage (P = 0.032). Kaplan-Meier curves revealed that low C6orf141 expression was significantly associated with shorter disease-specific survival (DSS) in patients with OSCC (log-rank P = 0.007). Multivariate analysis indicated that low C6orf141 expression was an independent prognostic biomarker for DSS (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.34; 95% confidence interval = 1.10-1.81; P = 0.05). Additionally, ectopic C6orf141 expression could significantly suppress oral cancer cell proliferation, colony formation, and migratory and invasive abilities. Xenograft tumor growth assay revealed that C6orf141 could significantly suppress oral tumor growth in vivo. Our results suggest that C6orf141 plays a novel tumor-suppressive role in oral cancer cell growth and motility. Furthermore, C6orf141 dysfunction could be a potential prognostic biomarker for OSCC and provide new therapeutic strategies in the future.
