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

objectiveThis study evaluated SQSTM1/p62 expression patterns and its prognostic value across multiple cancers, with a focus on nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). RESULTS DESCRIPTION: SQSTM1/p62 showed significantly higher mRNA and protein levels in tumors versus normal tissues across cancer types. High SQSTM1/p62 expression correlated with poorer OS and DSS in multiple cancers. Among 86 NPC patients (median follow-up 46.8 months), high SQSTM1/p62 expression (69.8% vs CNP 45% in controls, P = 0.036) independently predicted reduced DSS (HR = 4.51, 95% CI: 1.40-14.52). The unadjusted and multivariable-adjusted models consistently revealed a stable relationship between SQSTM1/p62 expression and patient prognosis. No significant interaction was observed between SQSTM1/p62 expression and age, TNM stage, or treatment methods (induction chemotherapy, concurrent chemoradiotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy). In summary, elevated SQSTM1/p62 expression correlates with poor clinical outcomes in pancancer analyses and serves as an independent prognostic factor for NPC.
