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

backgroundLaryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the most incident tumors in the world, especially in developing countries, such as Brazil. Different from other tumors, LSCC prognosis did not improve during the past four decades. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop biomarkers that can predict LSCC patient's prognosis.

resultsTranscriptome analysis pointed out 287 overexpressed genes in LSCC in comparison to adjacent mucosa. Among these, a gene-pattern signature was created with 24 genes associated with prognosis. The Bayesian clustering of both Brazil and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data pointed out clusters of samples possessing significative differences in the prognosis, and the expression panel of three genes (

conclusionALCAM overexpression seems to be an independent prognosis biomarker for LSCC patients.
