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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the impact of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) on the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) through neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the tumor immune microenvironment.

methodsThe expression of NETs-related markers was identified through immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and Western blotting in different clinical stages of OSCC samples. The relationship between NETs-related markers and clinicopathological characteristics in 180 samples was analyzed using immunohistochemistry data. Furthermore, the ability to predict the prognosis of OSCC patients was determined by ROC curve analysis and survival analysis. The effect of P. gingivalis on the release of NETs was identified through immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry, both in vitro and in vivo. CAL27 and SCC25 cell lines were subjected to NETs stimulation to elucidate the influence of NETs on various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and metastasis in vitro. Furthermore, the impact of NETs on the growth and metastatic potential of OSCC was assessed using in vivo models involving tumor-bearing mice and tumor metastasis mouse models.

resultsImmunochemistry analysis revealed a significant correlation between the NETs-related markers and clinical stage, living status as well as TN stage. P. gingivalis has demonstrated its ability to effectively induce the release of NETs both in vivo and in vitro. NETs have the potential to facilitate cell migration, invasion, and colony formation. Moreover, in vivo experiments have demonstrated that NETs play a pivotal role in promoting tumor metastasis.

conclusionHigh expression of NETs-related markers demonstrates a strong correlation with the progression of OSCC. Inhibition of the NETs release process stimulated by P. gingivalis and targeted NETs could potentially open up a novel avenue in the field of immunotherapy for patients afflicted with OSCC.
