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

backgroundHead and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) ranks the sixth most common cancer worldwide. This study aims to evaluate the associations of GWAS-identified HNSCC risk loci with progression, efficacy and toxicity of radiotherapy of HNSCC treated with radiotherapy.

methodsSix GWAS-identified risk loci were genotyped and evaluated. Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the associations of these SNPs with progression, efficacy and toxicity of radiotherapy of HNSCC treated with radiotherapy.

resultsWe found that rs259919 was significantly associated with higher TNM stage (allele A vs G: OR=1.49; 95% CI: 1.09-2.03; P=0.012), while rs3135001 was significantly associated with better efficacy of radiotherapy (allele T vs C: OR=1.80, 95% CIs=1.19-2.73, P=0.005). Both SNP rs1265081 (allele A vs C: OR=1.41, 95% CIs=1.08-1.86, P=0.012) and rs3135001 (allele T vs allele C: OR=0.53, 95% CIs=0.35-0.79, P=0.002) were significantly associated with the occurrence of grade 3-4 oral mucositis.

conclusionWe identified that three GWAS-identified HNSCC risk loci were significantly associated with progression, efficacy and toxicity of radiotherapy of HNSCC. Our findings strengthen the understanding of the essential role of genetic background in the progression and therapeutic effects of HNSCC.
