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

Objectives Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are responsible for initiating the process of carcinogenesis de novo, as well as through the transformation of oral potential malignant disorders (OPMDs) to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The aim of our study was to detect the expression of stemness-type CSC marker CD147 in oral leukoplakias (OLs), the most common OPMD, and OSCCs as well. Materials and methods This study focuses on the semiquantitative immunohistochemical pattern of the expression of the CSC protein biomarker CD147 in paraffin-embedded samples of 20 OSCCs of different grades of differentiation and 30 cases of OLs without or with different grades of dysplasia, compared to the normal oral epithelium in terms of cells' stain positivity. Statistical analysis was performed through Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.0 (IBM SPSS Statistics, Armonk, NY) with Pearson chi-square test, and the significance level was set at 0.05 (p=0.05). In addition, the study clarified the expression of the respective gene of
