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

backgroundGastric cancer (GC) and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are common malignancies with high morbidity and mortality rates. Traditional treatments often yield limited efficacy, especially in advanced cases. Recent advancements in immunotherapy, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), have shown promise. However, the expression and interaction of pescadillo ribosomal biogenesis factor 1 (PES1) and PD-L1 in these cancers remain unclear. Understanding their roles could provide new insights into tumor biology and improve therapeutic strategies.

aimTo investigate the expression levels of PES1 and PD-L1 in tumor tissues of patients with GC and HNSCC.

methodsA total of 58 cases of GC and HNSCC undergoing surgical resection were selected from January 2022 to January 2024. Paraffin specimens of GC and HNSCC tissues were taken from the patients, and the sections were subjected to staining with immunohistochemistry and hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the protein expression of PES1 and PD-L1 was observed microscopically.

resultsAmong 58 GC and HNSCC tissues, 30 cases were positive and 28 cases were negative for PES1 expression, and 34 cases were positive and 24 cases were negative for PD-L1 expression. The positive expression rates of PES1 and PD-L1 were 51.72% and 58.62%, respectively. PES1 expression was correlated with the TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, and the depth of infiltration (

conclusionPES1 and PD-L1 were positively expressed in GC and HNSCC tissues and correlated with clinical features. They may serve as potential biomarkers for immune-targeted therapies.
