Human papillomavirus in oral squamous cell carcinoma using p16 and its co-relationship with cervical lymph node metastasis and clinicopathological parameters.
Article in Dental research journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: Due to the increasing prevalence of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in Iran and especially in young people, this study aimed to identify human papillomavirus (HPV) using p16 in OSCC. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study, 40 samples from the archives of the Pathology Department of Kashani Hospital were selected by a definitive diagnosis of OSCC with neck dissection. Demographic information including age, gender, location, and size of the lesion was obtained. Samples were divided into two groups based on lymph node (LN) metastasis. Immunohistochemical staining was performed for p16. Data were entered into SPSS 24 software and statistically analyzed by Results: The mean age of patients was 59.7 ± 17.11 which in terms of age and gender there was no significant difference between the two groups including with and without cervical LN metastasis ( Conclusion: In OSCCs without cervical LN metastasis, a significant increase in p16 expression was observed compared to samples with cervical LNs metastasis. The presence of HPV was higher in samples with less LNs metastasis and possibly a better prognosis.
