Peripheral blood values as predictors of autoimmune status in oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in Translational oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundRecent literature has highlighted the role of the host in prognosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Autoimmune (AI) disease represents a macroscopic depiction of host status. The goal of this study was to predict an AI "status" and to analyze the utility of this "status" as a prognostic indicator in OSCC.
methodsFrom a departmental database of OSCC patients (n = 1377), 125 patients with an AI disorder were identified. PBL values were obtained and standardized for analysis. A LASSO regression model was used to determine the best predictors of AI status and an AI score was developed. The score was then analyzed across various survival endpoints.
resultsWhen AI score was divided into a binary variable, patients in the highest quartile had a significantly worse overall survival (OS), local recurrence-free (LRFP) and distant recurrence-free probability (DRFP). Survival curves showed significant differences for OS, DSS, LRFP, and DRFP.
conclusionsAI diseases are immune dysregulations that could play a role in prognosis. Therefore, development of an AI score is necessary to depict host status in a ubiquitous manner. AI score as a binary variable may be more utilitarian in a clinical setting, compared to the continuous score. This novel tool needs validation and integration into more tumor and host characteristics. This investigation showed utility of such a score, similar to PBL data in OSCC prognosis. Future studies should incorporate other relevant variables known to affect outcome and implement a more comprehensive predictive model.
