The B7 family molecules in oral squamous cell carcinoma: a systematic review. Part I: B7-H1 (PD-L1) and B7-DC (PD-L2).

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
Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common cancerous lesion in the oral cavity. During recent years, no significant reduction in the survival rate has been observed. Aim: To systematically review the literature and to summarise correlations between B7 family proteins and prognosis in OSCC. Material and methods: A systematic review of the literature about B7-H1 (PD-L1) and B7-DC (PD-L2) was carried out, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Thirty-six articles published before 22 May 2020 were included in the systematic review. Results: The biggest study group consisted of 305 patients and the smallest - 10 patients. PD-L1 proved to be a prognostic factor in patients with OSCC. Immunohistochemistry was the most commonly used diagnostic method. Conclusions: Any mutations in the gene encoding PD-L1 and quantitative or functional changes in the status of PD-L1 may be important in the prognosis of OSCC.
