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

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been widely used for the treatment of solid tumors. However, clinical observations have shown that patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) who are receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin still face issues such as a poor lymph node response and even lymph node progression, but the underlying mechanisms remain unidentified. In this work, it is found that low-dose cisplatin promoted oral squamous cell carcinoma migration, invasion and lymph node metastasis, and gasdermin D (GSDMD) is identified as a potential regulator. GSDMD interacted with MMP14, promoting its expression and epithelial‒mesenchymal transition (EMT) activation without activating pyroptosis. Moreover, pH-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) for the systemic delivery of a GSDMD siRNA (siGSDMD) is developed and showed that this NP-delivered siGSDMD can effectively inhibit OSCC tumor growth and metastasis via the efficient silencing of GSDMD expression in vivo. This findings indicate that GSDMD can be a biomarker to predict the prognosis of OSCC patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy and that NP-mediated GSDMD silencing can be a promising strategy for the treatment of patients with advanced OSCC receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy with cisplatin.
