The Prognostic Significance of Tumor Budding and Cell Nest Size in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLaryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a commonly occurring malignancy in the head and neck region. However, due to the heterogeneity of primary tumor sites, tumor behavior, and molecular mechanisms, there is currently no consensus on the accuracy of clinicopathological prognostic factors for individual cases. Tumor histopathologic behavior remains a crucial factor in predicting aggressiveness. Recent studies have shown that peritumoral tumor budding (TB) combined with cell nest size (CNS) is a reliable marker for predicting lymph node metastasis, advanced cancer prognosis, and therapeutic response in SCCs of different origins.
aimsThis study aims to investigate the relationship between TB and CNS in the context of nodal metastasis and overall prognosis in patients diagnosed with LSCC. Our objective is to establish the significance of TB and CNS status as a cost-effective, easily assessed, and highly reliable prognostic factor among this patient population. METHODS AND
resultsIn this retrospective cross-sectional study, we analyzed 128 LSCC cases that underwent total laryngectomy at Amir Alam Hospital. We evaluated TB and CNS based on the Boxberg et al. STUDY: Our study demonstrated a significant correlation between TB, and nodal involvement (p = 0.015), vascular invasion (p = 0.035), and mortality rate (p = 0.001), as well as a significant statistical correlation between high TB and extra-laryngeal extension (p = 0.006), clinical stage (p = 0.011), and mortality rate (p = 0.001). Moreover, small nest size was also associated with the clinical stage (p = 0.047), extra-laryngeal extension (p = 0.015), and mortality rate (p < 0.001). Based on our results, TB, CNS, and clinical stage are independent prognostic factors for mortality rate and are correlated with disease-specific survival.
conclusionGiven the effect of TB and CNS on the overall prognosis and survival of patients with LSCC, evaluating these two factors on routine H&E microscopic examination of LSCC specimens is recommended to facilitate individualized risk assessment and treatment planning.
