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
Patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) respond very differently to radiotherapy (RT). Since clinical factors cannot accurately predict its effects, biological parameters have been investigated, including tumor hypoxia. CD105 is a hypoxia-inducible glycoprotein emerging as a potential prognostic indicator for several solid malignancies. Angiogenin is upregulated under hypoxic conditions and supports primary and metastatic tumor growth. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation stimulates tumor proliferation and angiogenesis. The aim of the present study was to ascertain the prognostic importance of hypoxia-inducible factors (CD105, angiogenin) and EGFR in a series of patients who underwent primary surgery followed by RT for laryngeal SCC. 25 consecutive patients with laryngeal SCC given postoperative RT have been investigated. CD105, angiogenin, and EGFR immunohistochemical expressions in primary laryngeal SCCs have been evaluated also with image analysis. The recurrence rate was significantly higher in SCC patients with a CD105 expression >10.0% (P = 0.012) and their disease-free survival (DFS) was shorter (P = 0.044). Neither angiogenin (in the carcinoma cells or endothelial cells) nor EGFR expression were associated with the prognosis in our patients after primary surgery followed by RT for laryngeal SCC. CD105 should be studied as a potentially predictive biomarker for identifying laryngeal SCCs at higher risk of early recurrence after postoperative RT. Targeted anti-CD105 therapy associated with RT should also be investigated in patients with laryngeal SCCs characterized by high CD105 expression.
