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

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a common malignancy with high mortality and poor prognosis due to a lack of predictive markers. Increasing evidence has demonstrated small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) play an important role in tumorigenesis. The aim of this study was to identify a prognostic snoRNA signature of HNSCC. Survival-related snoRNAs were screened by Cox regression analysis (univariate, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, and multivariate). The predictive value was validated in different subgroups. The biological functions were explored by coexpression analysis and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA). One hundred and thirteen survival-related snoRNAs were identified, and a five-snoRNA signature predicted prognosis with high sensitivity and specificity. Furthermore, the signature was applicable to patients of different sexes, ages, stages, grades, and anatomic subdivisions. Coexpression analysis and GSEA revealed the five-snoRNA are involved in regulating malignant phenotype and DNA/RNA editing. This five-snoRNA signature is not only a promising predictor of prognosis and survival but also a potential biomarker for patient stratification management.
