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 The landscape of head and neck cancers has changed with improvements in standard therapy; however, it is necessary to exploit advanced genomic approaches to identify novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC). ITGA3, ITGA5, and ITGA6, members of the integrin family of proteins, play active roles in cytoskeletal organization and cell migration, proliferation, and survival. However, the expression patterns and prognostic values of ITGA3, ITGA5, and ITGA6 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma remain unclear. MATERIAL AND METHODS Different expression patterns and prognostic values of ITGA3, ITGA5, and ITGA6 were analyzed in patients with HNSC using various databases, including ONCOMINE, GEPIA, TIMER, HPA, Kaplan-Meier Plotter, GEO, and TCGA. RESULTS Expression levels of ITGA3, ITGA5, and ITGA6 were substantially increased in patients with HNSC. Additionally, higher expression levels of ITGA3, ITGA5, and ITGA6 were associated with worse overall survival in patients with HNSC, and higher levels of ITGA3 correlated with a worse relapse-free survival. CONCLUSIONS ITGA3, ITGA5, and ITGA6 are potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for HNSC. In particular, IGTA5 might be used as a significant independent prognostic factor in this cancer.
