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

backgroundLEM domain containing 1 (LEMD1) is a novel factor involved in the development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We previously performed a microarray analysis and found that serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade E, member 2 (SERPINE2) is an LEMD1-related signal. SERPINE2 is an extracellular serine proteinase inhibitor with secretory capacity. Although SERPINE2 displays tumor-promoting properties in many cancers, some reports indicate that SRPINE2 also has a tumor-suppressing function. Therefore, there are many unclear points about its role in cancer. In this study, we investigated SERPINE2 expression in OSCC.

methodsThe gene expression and secretion levels of SERPINE2 were examined in 42 frozen specimens of OSCC, and SERPINE2 immunostaining was investigated in 167 cases of OSCC. Furthermore, the effect of SERPINE2 on angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis was analyzed using OSCC cells and endothelial cells.

resultsIn the frozen specimens, the gene expression (P < 0.0001) and secretion levels (P < 0.0001) of SERPINE2 were higher in OSCC than in the normal oral mucosa. According to the immunohistochemical analysis, SERPINE2 expression was correlated with the depth of invasion (P = 0.0163), nodal metastasis (P = 0.0085), microvessel density (P < 0.0001), and lymphovessel density (P < 0.0001). Additionally, univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that the SERPINE2 expression level was an independent poor prognostic factor for OSCC. In vitro studies using OSCC cells revealed that SERPINE2 promotes angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis.

conclusionThese results suggest that SRPX2 might be a useful tumor marker for OSCC.
