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 aim of this study is to find a correlation between tumoral heterogeneity of squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx and human papillomavirus (HPV) status and to determine whether analysis of texture features of primary lesion on contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) images can be useful in predicting the HPV positivity. Fifty patients with diagnosis of oropharyngeal carcinoma and pre-treatment CECT were included; tumoral heterogeneity of each lesion was evaluated by extracting quantitative texture parameters of first and higher orders. T test and logistic regression were conducted to evaluate the effects of different textural characteristics. There were 35 HPV+ and 15 HPV- lesions. Statistically significant (p < 0.05) differences were seen in multiple higher-order extracted parameters. The logistic regression model correctly classified lesions with an accuracy of 95.2%. CT texture analysis of primary oropharyngeal cancer may be used as a tool for predicting the HPV status.
