The association between lncRNA H19 and EZH2 expression in patients with EBV-positive laryngeal carcinoma.
Article in Acta otorhinolaryngologica Italica : organo ufficiale della Societa italiana di otorinolaringologia e chirurgia cervico-facciale, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveLaryngeal cancer is the second most common malignancy in the head and neck, with Epstein-Barr virus infection as a risk factor. Our aim is to evaluate correlations between the expression of lncRNA H19 and EBV infection in laryngeal cancer and H19 involvement in neoplastic progression through EZH2 association. MATERIALS AND
methods30 paired laryngeal tissue specimens (neoplastic and non-neoplastic) were included in the study. Nucleic acid isolation and cDNA synthesis was performed according to the manufacturer's protocol. EBV DNA and expression of lytic (BZLF1) and latent (LMP1) forms of infection were assessed in PCR assays; expression levels of H19 and EZH2 were quantified in qRT-PCR. Data was analysed using GraphPad Prism 5.0.
resultsHigher H19 relative expression in neoplastic vs paired non-neoplastic samples was found (p < 0.0001) with a significant increase in EBV DNA positive neoplasms (p = 0.0434). An inverse correlation between H19 and EZH2 expression levels was noticed in EBV positive cases. Additionally, increased levels of H19 in LMP1 positive samples compared with those positive for BZLF1 was found (p = 0.0593).
conclusionslncRNA H19 and EZH2 significantly contribute to the development of laryngeal carcinoma, being correlated with EBV infection markers.
