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

backgroundWe aimed to identify tumor-associated antigen (TAA) biomarkers through bioinformatic analysis and experimental verification, and to evaluate a panel of autoantibodies against tumor-associated antigens (TAAbs) for the detection of oral cancer (OC).

methodsGEO and TCGA databases were used to screen significantly up-regulated genes related to OC, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis and Cystoscope software were used to identify key genes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the expression levels of autoantibodies in 173 OC patients and 173 normal controls, and binary logistic regression analysis was used to build a diagnostic model.

resultsUsing bioinformatics, we identified 10 key genes (AURKA, AURKB, CXCL8, CXCL10, COL1A1, FN1, FOXM1, MMP9, SPP1 and UBE2C) that were highly expressed in OC. Three autoantibodies (anti-AURKA, anti-CXCL10, anti-FOXM1) were proven to have diagnostic value for OC in the verification set and the validation set. The combined assessment of these three autoantibodies improved the diagnostic value for OC, with an area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity and specificity of 0.741(95%CI:0.690-0.793),58.4% and 80.4%, respectively. In addition, the combination of these three autoantibodies also had high diagnostic value for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), with an AUC, sensitivity and specificity of 0.731(95%CI:0.674,0.786), 53.8% and 82.1%, respectively.

conclusionsOur study revealed that AURKA, CXCL10 and FOXM1 may be potential biomarkers and the panel of three autoantibodies (anti-AURKA, anti-CXCL10 and anti-FOXM1) had good diagnostic value for OC.
