High pATM is Associated With Poor Local Control in Supraglottic Cancer Treated With Radiotherapy.
Article in The Laryngoscope, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
objectivesMost early stage laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas (LSCC) are treated with radiotherapy. Discovery of new biomarkers are needed to improve prediction of outcome after radiotherapy and to identify potential targets for systemic targeted therapy. The ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene plays a critical role in DNA damage response induced by ionizing radiation.
methodsThe prognostic value of immunohistochemical expression of pATM, pChk2, and p53 were investigated in 141 patients with T1-T2 LSCC curatively treated with external beam radiotherapy. Uni- and multivariable Cox regression analyses were performed to examine the relation between expression levels of markers and local control.
resultsLocal control was significantly worse in cases with high levels of pATM (HR 2.14; 95% CI, 1.08-4.24; P = .03). No significant associations with local control were found for pChk2 and p53 expression. The association of high pATM expression with poor local control was only found for supraglottic LSCC (HR 10.9; 95% CI, 1.40-84.4; P = .02).
conclusionOur findings suggest a potential role for ATM in response to radiotherapy in early stage supraglottic LSCC and imply ATM inhibition as a possibility to improve response to radiotherapy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: NA Laryngoscope, 130: 1954-1960, 2020.
