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

There are a few biological functions or phenomenon which are universally associated with majority of the cancers and hypoxia and immune systems are among them. Hypoxia often occurs in most of the cancers which helps the cells in adapting different responses with respect to the normal cells which may be the activation of signaling pathways which regulate proliferation, angiogenesis, and cell death. Similar to it, immune signaling pathways are known to play critical roles in cancers. Moreover, there are a number of genes which are known to be associated with these hypoxia and immune system and appear to direct affect the tumor growth and propagations. Cancer is among the leading cause of death and oral cancer is the tenth-leading cause due to cancer death. In this study, we were mainly interested to understand the impact of alteration in the expression of hypoxia and immune system-related genes and their contribution to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Moreover, we have collected the genes associated with hypoxia and immune system from the literatures. In this work, we have performed meta-analysis of the gene and microRNA expression and mutational datasets obtained from public database for different grades of tumor in case of oral cancer. Based on our results, we conclude that the critical pathways which dominantly enriched are associated with metabolism, cell cycle, immune system and based on the survival analysis of the hypoxic genes, we observe that the potential genes associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and its progression are STC2, PGK1, P4HA1, HK1, SPIB, ANXA5, SERPINE1, HGF, PFKM, TGFB1, L1CAM, ELK4, EHF, and CDK2.
