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

backgroundRECK, as a negative MMP regulator, is extensively expressed in normal cells but decreased in tumors. In OSCC, the relationship between RECK and MMPs and the potential prognostic impact remains unclear. In this research, for the first time, we investigated the expression of RECK associated with MMPs during OSCC carcinogenesis in a large sample and its association with 5-year survival rate. MATERIAL AND

methodsImmunohistochemical SP technique was applied to study the expression of RECK and MMP-2 and MMP-9 in 108 cases of OSCC and 30 normal oral mucosae. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis was utilized for disease-free survival and overall survival, and analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method regarding RECK expression in patients of OSCC.

resultsWe found lower expression of RECK in OSCC was 51.85% (56/108) compared with 93.33% (28/30) in the control group. However, the higher expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was 74.07% (80/108) and 70.37% (76/108) in OSCC, respectively, compared with 20% (6/30) and 13.3% (4/30) in the control group. Furthermore, the decrease of RECK expression and the increase of MMP-2, and -9 expression were significantly correlated with the loss of histologic differentiation, the occurrence of lymphatic metastasis, and the increase of OSCC clinical stage (

conclusionRECK may prevent metastasis and improve OSCC patients' prognosis through a RECK/MMP-2, and -9 imbalance. Furthermore, RECK is a prospective prognostic indicator and therapeutic target for cancer molecular targeting therapy. Low expression of RECK may be a significant negative prognostic predictor.
