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

introductionLymph node metastasis is the primary cause of death in oral squamous-cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients, so understanding the underlying molecular mechanism is critical for treating metastatic OSCC. OVOL1, a transcription factor, functions as a "break" to repress metastasis in breast cancer and prostate cancer.

aimsTo explore the roles of OVOL1 in the progression of OSCC, especially during metastasis.

resultsThe OVOL1 level was increased significantly in non-metastatic OSCC tissues and negatively correlated with ZEB1 level. OVOL1 repressed ZEB1 expression by directly binding to the promoter region of ZEB1. OVOL1 functioned as a tumor suppressor, and suppressed SCC-152 cells proliferation, migration, and invasion and promoted apoptosis. ZEB1 almost fully rescued the overexpressed OVOL1 function in SCC-152 cells.

conclusionOVOL1 overexpression contributes to the progression of OSCC through inhibiting ZEB1, which may provide a marker for prognosis in OSCC.
