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

Background: The fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) is implicated in various diseases and acts as a demethylase for the most abundant modification of mRNA, namely N6-methyladenosine (m Methods: Using immunohistochemistry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and Western blot analysis, we compared the expression levels of FTO in HSCC tissues to adjacent non-cancerous tissues. Furthermore, we evaluated the prognosis of patients with hypopharyngeal cancer in relation to FTO expression levels. Results: The results showed that FTO was highly expressed in hypopharyngeal cancer tissues and was correlated with clinicopathology of patients. FTO promoted the proliferation, invasion and migration of hypopharyngeal cancer cells Conclusions: Our study highlighted the functional significance of the FTO/SERPINE1 axis in tumorigenesis of HSCC. Targeting FTO holds promise as a new therapeutic strategy for HSCC.
