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

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCC) comprise a particular cancer entity traditionally associated with better clinical outcomes. Around 25% of HNSCC are HPV positive, HPV16 being the most prevalent type. Nevertheless, close to 30% of the HPV-positive patients have an unfavorable prognosis, revealing that this type of tumor exhibits great heterogeneity leading to different clinical behaviors. Efforts have been made to identify RNA molecules with prognostic value associated with the clinical outcome of patients with HPV-positive HNSCC, with the aim of identifying patients at high risk of metastasis, disease recurrence, and poor survival, who would require closer clinical follow-up and timely intervention. Moreover, the molecular identification of those HPV-positive HNSCC patients with good prognosis will allow the implementation of de-escalating therapeutic strategies, aiming to reduce side effects, resulting in a better quality of life. This review compiles a series of recent studies addressing different methodological and conceptual approaches aimed at searching for potential gene expression-based biomarkers associated with the prognosis of patients with HPV-positive HNSCC.
