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 AND

objectivesLaryngeal cancer is a common head and neck tumor burden, with no significant improvements in long term patient survival. Despite the progress of molecular genetics and oncology strategies, there is still a lack of biomarker use in routine clinical practice for early laryngeal cancer screening or diagnosis. miRNAs are explored as promising molecules, that could serve as liquid biopsy. Our goal is to explore the screening potential of miR-31-3p and miR-196a-5p in early- and advanced-stage laryngeal HPV-negative plasma samples.

methodsIn this study, 50 plasma samples obtained from early and advanced HPV-negative laryngeal cancer patients were included. The expression levels of mir-31-3p and miR-196a-5p were analyzed via TaqMan RT-qPCR. SPSS v27.0 was used for statistical analysis.

resultsFor the first time, miR-31-3p and miR-196a-5p were analyzed in plasma samples from early HPV-negative primary LSCC patients. Both circulating miRNAs showed significantly elevated expression levels in early and advanced laryngeal cancer samples. miR-31-3p was significantly associated with T stages (

conclusionsIn conclusion, the data revealed that miR-31-3p has greater potential as an LSCC screening marker in comparison to miR-196a-5p. Still, miR-196a-5p also showed promising results in early-stage laryngeal cancer monitoring. The utilization of circulating miR-31-3p or miR-196a-5p analysis could enable liquid biopsy approaches, with results potentially informing treatment monitoring strategies, personalized oncological protocols, and early diagnosis. These advancements could ultimately benefit patient outcomes by improving laryngeal organ preservation and survival rates.
