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

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) outcomes require molecular markers beyond histological grading for reliable prognostication. Therefore, it is of interest to assess p53, Ki-67 and EGFR expression via immunohistochemistry in 96 confirmed OSCC cases, correlating with grade, lymph node metastasis and stage. All markers showed significantly elevated expression with advancing tumor grade (p53 in 78.1%, Ki-67 >50% in poorly differentiated tumors, EGFR in 71.9% of cases). Combined positivity offered superior correlation with lymph node metastasis (p<0.001) and advanced clinical stage versus individual markers. Integrated p53/Ki-67/EGFR assessment advances OSCC prognostication, warranting routine pathological use for enhanced clinical decision-making.
