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

Since their discovery in the 1990's, microRNAs (miRNA) have opened up new vistas in the field of cancer biology and are found to have fundamental roles in tumorigenesis and progression. As head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) with positive human papillomavirus (HPV+) is significantly distinct from its HPV negative (HPV-) counterpart in terms of both molecular mechanisms and clinical prognosis, the current study aimed to separately develop miRNA signatures for HPV+ and HPV- HNSCC as well as to explore the potential functions. Both signatures were reliable for the prediction of prognosis in their respective groups. Then Enrichment analysis was performed to predict the potential biological functions of the signatures. Importantly, combining previous studies and our results, we speculated that HPV+ HNSCC patients with low signature score had better immunity against the tumors and enhanced the sensitivity of therapies leading to improved prognosis, while HPV- HNSCC patients with high signature score acquired resistance to therapeutic approaches as well as dysregulation of cell metabolism leading to poor prognosis. Hence, we believe that the identified signatures respectively for HPV+ and HPV- HNSCC, are of great significance in accessing patient outcomes as well as uncovering new biomarkers and therapeutic targets, which are worth further investigation through molecular biology experiments.
