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

Tyrosine kinase inhibitor is an effective chemo-therapeutic drug against tumors with deregulated EGFR pathway. Recently, a genetic variant rs10251977 (G>A) in exon 20 of EGFR reported to act as a prognostic marker for HNSCC. Genotyping of this polymorphism in oral cancer patients showed a similar frequency in cases and controls. EGFR-AS1 expressed significantly high level in tumors and EGFR-A isoform expression showed significant positive correlation (r = 0.6464, p < 0.0001) with reference to EGFR-AS1 expression levels, consistent with larger TCGA HNSCC tumor dataset. Our bioinformatic analysis showed enrichment of alternative splicing marks H3K36me3 and presence of intronic polyA sites spanning around exon 15a and 15b of EGFR facilitates skipping of exon 15b, thereby promoting the splicing of EGFR-A isoform. In addition, high level expression of PTBP1 and its binding site in EGFR and EGFR-AS1 enhances the expression of EGFR-A isoform (r = 0.7404, p < 0.0001) suggesting that EGFR-AS1 expression modulates the EGFR-A and D isoforms through alternative splicing. In addition, this polymorphism creates a binding site for miR-891b in EGFR-AS1 and may negatively regulate the EGFR-A. Collectively, our results suggested the presence of genetic variant in EGFR-AS1 modulates the expression of EGFR-D and A isoforms.
