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: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is the ultimate common malignant head and neck cancer with dismal prognosis. The expression pattern and clinical significance of Siglec-15 (Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin 15) in LSCC are poorly understood. In order to lay the groundwork for future immune-related research on Siglec-15 in LSCC, we set out to study its expression and prognostic importance in the disease, as well as to use bioinformatics to investigate the immune features modulated by Siglec-15 in LSCC. Methods: ① In order to get the gene expression profile and clinical data for TCGA head and neck cancer (TCGA-HNSC), you may access the relevant data from UCSC xena and use 110 cases of laryngeal cancer as a training set. Two datasets, GSE27020 and GSE25727, were obtained from the GEO databank and utilized as validation sets. These datasets include expression profiles and clinical information. The Siglec-15 gene and immune characteristics were analyzed by bioinformatics methods. ② Retrospectively collected routine paraffin specimens from patients with pathological diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma from December 2012 to November 2015 in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital and fresh frozen tissue of patients from June 2021 to March 2022. Immunohistochemistry method, immunofluorescence technique and real-time quantitative PCR was used to examine the difference of Siglec-15 appearance in LSCC tissue and adjacent tissue, and its correlation of prognosis, clinic pathological characteristics and CD8+T lymphocyte infiltration. Using human laryngeal cancer cell line (LCC), we studied the influence of Siglec-15 in cell proliferation and invasion. Results: We identified Siglec-15 was upregulated in LSCC. The patients in Siglec-15 high expression group had a poor overall survival (OS) based on the clinical information from TGCA and 111 LSCC patients that hospitalized in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital. The COX regression analysis indicated Siglec-15 as an independent predictor for poor prognosis of LSCC. Bioinformatic analysis suggested that the high expression of Siglec-15 shape an immune suppressive tumor microenvironment (TEM), leading to poor response to immunotherapy in LSCC. Siglec-15 enhanced cell invasion and proliferation, as we showed in vitro. Conclusion: Our study support Siglec-15 as a potential predictor for LSCC prognosis and an attractive target for LSCC immunotherapy.
