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/purposeOral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most lethal malignancies which accounts for approximately 90% of all malignant oral tumours. SAMMSON is a lncRNA located on chromosome 3p13-3p14 and is known to act as an oncogene in several malignancies. However, its expression and clinical significance in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remain mostly unclear. In this study, we investigated the expression and clinical relevance of lncRNA SAMMSON in human OSCC. MATERIALS AND

methodsHuman OSCC cell lines (Tca8113, SCC9, SCC25, CAL27, HN12, HSU3, FADU) and a human normal oral keratinocyte cell line (HNOK) were used to detect the difference of SAMMSON expression. A total of 90 OSCC patients confirmed by pathological and clinical diagnoses at the Hospital of Stomatology, Department of Periodontology, Shandong University were enrolled. The mRNA expression level was analyzed by reverse transcription PCR (QRT-PCR). Statistical analyses including Student's t-test, chi-square method, Kaplan-Meier method, Univariate and, Multivariate Cox regression analysis were performed to analyse all data.

resultsThis study showed that the expression of SAMMSON was significantly increased in OSCC tissues and cell lines. High SAMMSON expression was significantly associated with TMN stage, tumour differentiation, lymph node metastasis distant metastasis and neighboring tissue infiltration. Patients with high expression of SAMMSON had poor overall survival and disease-free survival compared to those with low levels. Cox regression analysis showed that SAMMSON could act as an independent prognostic factor in OSCC.

conclusionSerum SAMMSON expression was associated with tumour SAMMSON expression. ROC curve analysis indicated the high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of serum SAMMSON expression in OSCC patients as compared to other traditional serum biomarker SCCA, TSGF, and CEA. These results indicated that SAMMSON might play an essential role in OSCC progression and could serve as a novel prognostic and diagnostic biomarker in OSCC.
