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

backgroundOral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) still lacks the valid prognosticator for survival. Tumor associated tissue eosinophilia (TATE) have been widely investigated in the literature but still there is no consensus viewpoint on its role as prognostic marker. With this view in mind, a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies that evaluated the overall risk of elevated TATE and survival in OSCC was conducted METHODOLOGY: A systematic literature search conducted to identify studies that have evaluated TATE in OSCC. Overall survival (OS), Disease Free Survival (DFS) Hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval) was extracted. HR was extrapolated if direct HR was not given in publication. Studies were pooled and combined hazard ratios (HRs) of High TATE for OS and DFS were calculated.

results6 out of 874 articles were found eligible for systematic review and meta-analysis. High TATE was predictor of OS (

conclusionHigh TATE positively predicts OS and DFS in OSCC and thus can be regarded as an important survival prognosticator. Standardization of counting and reporting methodology for TATE count is recommended on future cohort studies.
