Progression Risk Score Estimation Based on Immunostaining Data in Oral Cancer Using Unsupervised Hierarchical Clustering Analysis: A Retrospective Study in Taiwan.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2021. 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
This study aimed to investigate whether the progression risk score (PRS) developed from cytoplasmic immunohistochemistry (IHC) biomarkers is available and applicable for assessing risk and prognosis in oral cancer patients. Participants in this retrospective case-control study were diagnosed between 2012 and 2014 and subsequently underwent surgical intervention. The specimens from surgery were stained by IHC for 16 cytoplasmic target markers. We evaluated the results of IHC staining, clinical and pathological features, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) of 102 oral cancer patients using a novel estimation approach with unsupervised hierarchical clustering analysis. Patients were stratified into high-risk (52) and low-risk (50) groups, according to their PRS; a metric consisting of cytoplasmic PLK1, PhosphoMet, SGK2, and SHC1 expression. Moreover, PRS could be extended for use in the Cox proportional hazard regression model to estimate survival outcomes with associated clinical parameters. Our study findings revealed that the high-risk patients had a significantly increased risk in cancer progression compared with low-risk patients (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.20, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.10-2.42,
