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

To explore diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and to reveal their regulatory mechanisms in key pathways. A RayBiotech protein chip was used to screen differentially expressed serum proteins in OSCC, oral leukoplakia (OLK), and healthy participants. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis were used to determine the pathways enriched by characteristic differential proteins. Immunohistochemical analysis and western blotting were used to verify the expression of characteristic differential proteins and key regulatory factors in human tissues and in a nude mouse model. Fibroblast growth factor 6 (FGF6) was identified as a key differential protein and was weakly expressed in OSCC tissues. The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and PI3K-AKT pathways were identified as key signaling pathways. The results showed that pERK, Cyclin D1, pAKT, and BCL2 were highly expressed in OSCC, Caspase9 was lowly expressed in OSCC. With an increase in FGF6 expression in nude mice, the expression of FGFR4, pERK, Cyclin D1, pAKT, BCL2, GPX4, and ACSL4 increased, and the expression of Caspase9 decreased. FGF6 may change the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and proliferation factors by binding to FGFR4 in the PI3K-AKT/MAPK pathway and may inhibit the ferroptosis of OSCC, thereby possibly participating in the process of inhibiting OSCC.
