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

backgroundThe human papillomavirus (HPV) is emerging as an important risk factor in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients. This has been observed particularly in the case of HPV16. The HPV16+ HNSCC subtype has distinct pathological, clinical, molecular, and prognostic characteristics. This study aimed to identify potential microRNAs (miRNAs) and their roles in HPV16+ HNSCC progression.

methodmiRNA, mRNA and the clinical data of 519 HNSCC and 44 HNSCC-negative samples were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) in HPV16-related HNSCC tissues with prognostic value were selected. DEM levels were assessed based on clinicopathological parameters and overall survival (OS). Target genes were also predicted and functional analysis based on Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were then performed.

resultsIn HPV16+ HNSCC tissues, miR-99a-3p and miR-4746-5p were significantly upregulated. In contrast, miR-411-5p was shown to be downregulated. miR-99a-3p

conclusionmiR-99a-3p, miR-411-5p and miR-4746-5p might participate in HPV16+ HNSCC progression through EMT related pathways and affect prognosis.
