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

Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) is clinically heterogeneous, and patients with a similar TNM stage can experience markedly different outcomes. We systematically reviewed omics-driven studies to identify prognostic TSCC biomarkers. Although fundamentally prognostic, we discussed their theoretical translational relevance regarding future clinical decisions-such as treatment stratification or surveillance intensity-while strictly framing them as preliminary, hypothesis-generating targets. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane were searched for original human studies published between 2014 and 2024 using high-throughput genomic or transcriptomic profiling. Study selection followed referred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), data were extracted with a structured workbook, and risk of bias was assessed using QUIPS and PROBAST, with reporting completeness appraised using REMARK. Seventeen studies were included, identifying 85 distinct biomarkers. Across biomarkers supported by multivariable overall survival analyses, higher-risk associations were reported for
