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

backgroundTo identify the prognostic markers of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the genetic heterogeneity of the pathological stages was investigated.

methodsThe data of 295 patients with primary OSCC obtained from the Cancer Genome Atlas were studied. The genetic prognostic landscape of the pathological stages was systematically analyzed by Cox regressions, Fisher's exact tests, and Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment.

resultsStage 4 patients had a poor prognosis in univariate and multivariate Cox models. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) pathway alterations were found more frequently in stage 4, whereas alterations in cell cycle pathways were significant in stages 1, 2, and 3. The differentially mutated genes were divided into three groups: risk genes of high stage, hazardless genes, and risk genes of low stage. The risk genes of low stage (RNF112, AKR7L, ZSCAN5C, and ZPBP) were independent prognostic factors with stage 4 and treatment modality in multivariate Cox regressions. Additionally, in genetic interaction analysis, NOMO1 and ZNF333 had a high co-occurrence in high stage, and WIZ had high co-occurrence in low stage. In GO enrichment, the prognostic genes were clustered at the functional term of RNA polymerase II transcription, and ZNF333 had an association with RNA transcription.

conclusionThe genetic mutation type and ratio of tumor heterogeneity are different for each stage of OSCC, and stratification of OSCC patients with differential therapeutic efficacy is needed. Risk genes of both high and low stages must be identified in patients diagnosed with low-stage OSCC. Mutations in NOMO1, ZNF333, and WIZ should be considered as potential prognostic markers.
