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

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide with a high rate of morbidity and mortality, with 90% of predilections occurring for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Cancers of the mouth account for 40% of head and neck cancers, including squamous cell carcinomas of the tongue, floor of the mouth, buccal mucosa, lips, hard and soft palate, and gingival. OSCC is the most devastating and commonly occurring oral malignancy, with a mortality rate of 500,000 deaths per year. This has imposed a strong necessity to discover driver genes responsible for its progression and malignancy. In the present study we filtered oral squamous cell carcinoma tissue samples from TCGA-HNSC cohort, which we followed by constructing a weighted PPI network based on the survival of patients and the expression profiles of samples collected from them. We found a total of 46 modules, with 18 modules having more than five edges. The KM and ME analyses revealed a single module (with 12 genes) as significant in the training and test datasets. The genes from this significant module were subjected to pathway enrichment analysis for identification of significant pathways and involved genes. Finally, the overlapping genes between gene sets ranked on the basis of weighted PPI module centralities (i.e., degree and eigenvector), significant pathway genes, and DEGs from a microarray OSCC dataset were considered as OSCC-specific hub genes. These hub genes were clinically validated using the IHC images available from the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database.
