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

MUC1 and MUC4 are two transmembranous proteins, which have been seen to express aberrantly in various human neoplasms and advocated as independent prognostic markers. Till now no extensive studies have been carried out on combined expression of MUC1 and MUC4 in oral leukoplakia and Oral squamous cell carcinoma. This study is an endeavour to evaluate Immunohistochemical coexpression of MUC1 and MUC4 in Oral Leukoplakia and Oral squamous cell carcinoma and furthr establish them as prognostic markers. Immunohistochemical analysis of MUC1 and MUC4 was done on 24 cases of Oral squamous cell carcinoma, 24 cases of leukoplakia and 12 normal oral mucosal tissues. Chi square test and one way ANOVA test were employed for statistical analysis. Normal oral mucosa and leukoplakia group showed higher frequency of negative immunoexpression compared to oral squamous cell carcinoma group. Furthur in Oral squamous cell carcinoma group, higher frequency of double positive coexpression in well and moderately differentiated oral squamous cell carcinoma and single positive coexpression in poorly differentiated oral squamous cell carcinoma was obtained. A definite rise of immunoexpression of MUC1 and MUC4 was observed from normal oral mucosa to leukoplakia to oral squamous cell carcinoma indicative of their contribution as diagnostic and prognostic markers.
