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

introductionClinically and histologically normal appearing perilesional mucosa of epithelial dysplasia may harbor early genetic changes. Hence, the present study is designed to determine the early molecular changes in the form of p16 and EGFR immunoexpressions in perilesional tissues.

objectivesTo analyze immunohistochemical expressions of p16 and EGFR individually and percentage change of immunoexpressions in oral dysplastic lesions and their perilesional tissues. MATERIALS AND

methodsForty formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues of oral epithelial dysplasia with perilesional tissue marked by India ink were included in this study. Immunohistochemical staining was performed using anti-p16 and anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies (BioGenex) using squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix and breast carcinoma as the positive controls, respectively.

resultsp16 and EGFR expressions were assessed based on the presence, intensity, extent and immunolocalization of positive cells. Out of 40 cases, p16 immunoexpression was positive in 82.5% cases of lesional tissues and in 62.5% cases of perilesional tissues (

conclusionThe disease status and progression based on p16 and EGFR expressions and co-expressions can be used as an effective guide to evaluating the progression of normal epithelium to dysplastic epithelium in otherwise clinically normal mucosa.
