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

Background: In India, Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers. Despite advances in treatments, prognosis for oral cancer has remained poor with a five-year survival rate of 40-50%. Therefore, it is necessary to develop effective diagnostic methods for early diagnosis and better prognosis. Homocysteine (Hcy) has been reported as a 'tumour marker' in various cancers such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, cervical cancer. Aim: To study the levels of serum Hcy in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients. Objectives: To assess the clinical utility of serum Hcy as a potential tumour marker for OSCC cases. Methodology: Serum Hcy levels were studied and compared between patients with OSCC and healthy individuals. Results: Serum Hcy levels were higher in patients having OSCC. Conclusion: Serum Hcy levels could be utilized as a biological marker in the diagnosis and the prognosis of OSCC patients.
