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

In oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), expression of PDL1 is controversial with expressions showing a positive and negative correlation with survival in previous studies. Additionally, it is unclear whether expression on the tumour or tumour infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) is a better predictor of survival. We performed this study on a cohort of Indian patients with OSCC to determine impact of PDL1 expression on survival. Retrospective analysis of 64 patients of OSCC treated with curative intent surgery with or without adjuvant therapy was performed. Stored tissue blocks were extracted and quantitative immunohistochemistry was performed for PDL1 expression separately on the tumour and the TIL using commercially available Dako kits. Correlation of clinical and pathological variables with PDL1 expression was performed using chi-square test. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards ratio. In our cohort, PDL1 expression was low, both in tumour (92% had <1% expression) and TIL (56% had <1% expression). Tumour low PDL1 expression (<1%) was associated with a higher risk of lymphovascular invasion (
