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

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for more than 90% of all oral cancers and has been listed as sixth most common human cancer. Due to late diagnosis and insufficient therapeutic response among patients, the survival rate remains very low accentuating the importance of early diagnostic markers. The study aimed to identify differentially expressed proteins in search for putative serum biomarkers and drug targets. Serum samples (n = 45) were depleted and resolved on two dimensional gel electrophoresis. Among differentially expressed proteins, two were identified using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Gene expression levels of identified proteins were quantified in malignant and normal tissue using RT-qPCR. To validate serum Rabl3 expression, sandwich ELISA was performed. Proteomics analysis revealed two proteins which were found to be associated with oral cancer. The expression of GIMAP7 was found to be down regulated in serum of patients suffering from oral cancer while the expression of Rabl3 was found to be up-regulated. Gene expression analysis in malignant tissue and adjacent normal tissue revealed the same pattern. Quantitative ELISA was used to validate expression of Rabl3 in serum from oral cancer patients and healthy subjects which demonstrated significant up-regulation in cancer patients. Findings in current study demonstrate differential expression of novel putative biomarkers GIMAP7 and Rabl3 in oral cancer which suggests their potential role in oral cancer pathology and can be considered as predictive biomarkers.
