Prognostic Potential of the Expression of Podoplanin (D2-40) Within Cells of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Larynx and Hypopharynx.

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
backgroundPodoplanin (D2-20) stains immunohistochemically lymphatic vessels, regular mesothelium and tumor cells of different tumors, e.g. malignant mesothelioma or seminoma. In squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), the marker has been described as variously expressed.
methodsThis study has investigated the value of the immunohistochemical analysis for the prognostic relevance of the expression in 119 SCCs of the larynx and hypopharynx. The clinical data and documentation of follow-up for at least 5 years were available.
resultsThe collective showed the expected distribution of patient age with accentuation of the male sex and a balanced spread of tumor stages including nodal status. The immunohistochemical stain intensity (negative, weak or strong) and the distribution (equal versus focal) were evaluated. In addition, the accentuation of the staining reaction was separately examined at the border of invasion. SCCs with a strong expression of podoplanin were associated with an unfavorable prognosis. A comparison of grouped cases showed a trend emerging with borderline results (negative to weakly positive, P = 0.51; negative to strongly positive, P = 0.054; weakly positive to strongly positive, P = 0.17). The staining at the border of invasion had no statistical effect on overall survival. Multivariate survival statistics however showed that lymphonodal metastasis and a reaction with podoplanin in tumor cells are associated with significant worse prognosis.
conclusionIn summary, regardless of the exact function of podoplanin in the process of cell migration and tumor progression, an immunohistochemical identification of expression in tumor cells of SCC of the larynx and hypopharynx can give additional information about the expectable prognosis.
