Loss of the Y Chromosome in Oral Potentially Premalignant Disorders Predicts Malignant Progression: An Integrative Cross-Species Multi-Cohort Bioinformatic Study.
Article in Head & neck, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThe loss of the Y chromosome (LOY) and the extreme down-regulation of Y chromosome gene expression (EDY) are frequently observed in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, their roles in oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) are unclear.
methodsA comprehensive bioinformatic analysis was performed using publicly available datasets from chemically induced mouse OSCC models and human cohorts. The analysis included LOY/EDY detection, gene set variation analysis (GSVA), PROGENy pathway profiling, cell-to-cell communication inference, and epigenetic correlation studies.
resultsLOY was prevalent among men with OPMD, and EDY was identified in both mouse models and human OPMDs. The presence of LOY/EDY was associated with a higher risk of OPMD progression to OSCC. Single-cell analysis revealed that EDY-positive epithelial cells exhibited elevated oncogenic pathway activity and enhanced IL17-IL17RC signaling, possibly due to the loss of KDM5D in epithelial cells and altered epigenetic regulation.
conclusionsLOY/EDY can be detected in OPMD and promotes malignant progression by altering oncogenic signaling and epithelial cell interactions. LOY/EDY may serve as both a diagnostic biomarker and a therapeutic target, improving clinical management and patient outcomes.
