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

BACKGROUND Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) is an invasive malignancy with a high worldwide mortality, despite considerable recent advancements in diagnosis and treatment. Increasing evidence indicates that the Lamin C (LAMC) gene family is associated with the progression of diverse cancers, nevertheless, this association is not well understood. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic study addressing the expression and prognostic value of LAMC, and the relationship between LAMC and tumor immune response in HNSC was done. Finally, we performed drug screening to identify specific drugs. RESULTS Compared to normal samples, expressions of LAMC1 and LAMC2 were significantly increased in HNSC, and LAMC2 was obviously correlated with an adverse prognosis for patients. LAMC2 expression level was significantly correlated with the infiltrating levels of B cells, CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, and macrophages. Moreover, LAMC2 exhibited strong correlations with diverse immune markers, immune microenvironment, and immune checkpoint molecules. Finally, candidate drugs that targeted LAMC2 were identified. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that LAMC2 could serve as a new prognostic biomarker, and it could be used for efficacy of target for immune response and for drug sensitivity prediction in HNSC.
