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

aimWe aimed to show the immunohistochemical expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). MATERIALS AND

methodsThe study includes 52 laryngeal SCC cases that underwent surgical resection. Immunohistochemical staining of PD-L1 (Clone 22C3) was applied to the sections obtained from paraffin blocks. Combined Positive Score (CPS) was evaluated as described in manuals. Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) was assessed by the percentage of positive tumor cells which were designated as positive if ⩾1% of the tumor cells showed membranous staining.

resultsThere were 35 cases (67.3%) having CPS < 1 and 17 cases (32.7%) having CPS ⩾ 1. There was no relationship between CPS, TPS, and the clinicopathological data.

conclusionFurther studies with a large number of advanced-stage cases are needed.
