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

objectivesOral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common oral cancer and has a poor prognosis. We aimed to identify new biomarkers or potential therapeutic targets for OSCC. MATERIALS AND

methodsFour pairs of tumor and adjacent normal tissues were collected from OSCC patients, and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened via high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were used to analyze the DEGs. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was established with the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes/Proteins (STRING) database and Cytoscape, and two significant clusters were found. Candidate genes were screened by analyzing head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). A DEG-based risk model was established to predict the overall survival (OS) of OSCC patients via Kaplan-Meier analysis and the log-rank test. Furthermore, univariate Cox regression analysis was applied to assess associations between potential biomarkers and the overall survival rate.

resultsOf 720 total DEGs, fifty-two DEGs in the two subclusters of the PPI network analysis were selected. A risk model was established, and five candidate genes (SPRR2E, ICOS, CTLA4, HTR1D, and CCR4) were identified as biomarkers of OS in OSCC patients.

conclusionsWe successfully constructed a prognostic signature to predict prognosis and identified five candidate genes associated with the OS of OSCC patients that are potential tumor biomarkers and targets in OSCC.
