Proposed modified Brandwein-Gensler histological risk assessment score as prognosticator in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Observational study in Medicina oral, patologia oral y cirugia bucal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHistopathological parameters significantly impact the prognosis and treatment strategies of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Various risk assessment scores and grading systems have been proposed in the past, primarily based on subjective assessment of microscopic features. To modify Brandwein-Gensler risk score by including the worst pattern of invasion-5, perineural invasion and percentage stromal tumor infiltrating lymphocytes(TILs) and evaluate the relationship of the modified score with clinicopathological variables. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis retrospective observational study was conducted on 58 OSCC patients. The density of stromal TILs was determined on routine microscopic sections using image analysis software, thereby quantifying lymphocytic host response as percentage stromal lymphocytes. Furthermore, the modified Brandwein-Gensler risk score was derived from the assessment of the worst pattern of invasion-5, perineural invasion and percentage stromal tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. Chi-square test and Univariate analysis were used to find the association of categorical and continuous variables. The Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests were used to estimate the survival rates.
resultsA significant positive association of modified Brandwein-Gensler score was observed with pathological node (p=0.005), tumor grading (p=0.025), depth of invasion(p=0.016) and overall survival (p=0.03), signifying that high score tumors showed poor differentiation, invasive features and lower survival time.
conclusionsA modified, simplified and objective version of Brandwein Gensler histological risk assessment score is derived, revealing a significant association with tumor differentiation, depth of invasion and lymph node involvement.
