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

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC)is the 6th most common cancer in humans worldwide and is associated with a poor prognosis for patients. NR2F6 has been identified as an immune checkpoint molecule in tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes and is associated with a poor prognostic outcome in various cancers. The prognostic value of NR2F6 in HNSCC has not been described yet. We used a large, representative and clinically well-characterized cohort of 383 HNSCC patients, of which 22.4% developed a local recurrence. The NR2F6 expression was analyzed by using immunohistochemistry and was afterward correlated with clinical characteristics and clinicopathological features of HNSCC patients. Primary tumors from patients who develop a local recurrence have a higher NR2F6 expression than primary tumors which do not develop a local recurrence. Furthermore, a high NR2F6 expression is associated with poorer recurrence-free survival, although there is no correlation with overall survival. NR2F6 expression is independent of the T stage and UICC stage. NR2F6 might be a new prognostic biomarker for the early detection of local recurrences in HNSCC patients. Therefore, it may help to improve the recognition of patients who would benefit from more frequent follow-up examinations.
