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

Approximately two-thirds of hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC) cases are diagnosed at advanced stages, with the worst prognosis among head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). Identifying biomarkers for high-risk patients requiring aggressive treatment is crucial. We present mutational, transcriptomic, and proteomic studies of 103 Chinese HPSCC patients and observe a higher prevalence and poorer prognosis in males. Estrogen response pathways are up-regulated, and proteins phosphorylated by protein kinase C (PKC) and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are aberrantly regulated in HPSCC. We identify aberrant copy number regions including SOX2(3q26.33), FGFR(8p11.23), CCND1(11q13.3), CDKN2A/2B(9p21.3), and MYC(8q24.21). Human papillomavirus (HPV) status combined with highly mutated genes, such as SYNE1 in HPV(-) and MUC4 in HPV(+) patients, were assessed as prognosis markers. A predictive model involving clinical factors and expression of six genes was established and cross-site validated. These findings open new opportunities for stratifying high-risk patients and molecular targets for personalized therapeutic strategies.
