Association between the Worst Pattern of Tumor Invasion and Epithelial-mesenchymal Transition and their Prognostic Impact on Early-stage Oral Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

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
Purpose: We aimed to determine the association between the worst pattern of tumor invasion (WPOI) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in early-stage oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) with no adverse features and their impact on 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) rates. Methods: This prospective observational study included treatment-naive 50 patients who underwent primary surgery for OTSCC (pT1T2N0M0; AJCC 8th edition, with no adverse features) from June 1, 2020, to March 31, 2021 (minimum follow-up period, 2 years). WPOI (low- or high-invasive) and EMT (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and vimentin expression at the tumor invasive front) were assessed. Results: High invasive WPOI was seen in 66% and low invasive in 34%. 80% of the patients had EMT. No statistically significant association was found between WPOI and EMT. The OS and DFS at 2 years were 90% and 80% respectively. WPOI had statistically significant impact on 2-year DFS (100% for low & 69.7% for high, Conclusions: In early stage OTSCC with no adverse features, WPOI can be a promising predictor for disease recurrence. However, this should be validated for modifying treatment guidelines.
