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

objectivesJAG2 is one of Notch ligands, which recently appear to exert various carcinogenesis. In the present study, we aimed to unveil the relation of JAG2 expression and clinicopathological features in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). MATERIALS AND

methodsWe examined JAG2 expression in OSCC plus adjacent nontumorous epithelia in eight patients. Ninety-one OSCC tissue specimens were immunohistochemically stained with specific antibodies to JAG2. The immunoreactivities of JAG2 were correlated with clinicopathological factors, including the prognosis of patients. Chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier survival, and Cox proportional hazard analysis were used to determine the statistical value of JAG2 expression in OSCC.

resultsJAG2 mRNA expression was much expressed in OSCC tissues compared with adjacent tissue specimens in five of eight patients. JAG2 immunoreactivity was found at invasion front in 31 of 91 OSCC. JAG2 immunoreactivity was significantly associated with age, less than 50 years old of patients (P = .048). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that the patients with JAG2 immunoreactvty have a short overall survival. With the Cox proportional hazard regression mode, the independent factors predictive of poor overall survival included JAG2 immunoreactivity (P < .05).

conclusionsThe present findings suggest that JAG2 overexpression, especially at the cancer invasion front, has potential prognostic value.
