Oral tongue cancer patients show a better overall survival than base of tongue cancer patients.
Article in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to compare the prognosis of oral tongue cancer patients and base of tongue cancer patients.
methodsOne hundred oral tongue cancer patients (group A) were matched with 50 base of tongue cancer patients (group B) for gender, age, T-stage, and tumor differentiation in this study. Survival rate was performed using the Kaplan-Meier analysis, and multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic regression model.
resultsThere was difference in the survival rate between the two groups. Three- and 5-year OS (overall survival) of the two groups were 65.0, 51.0% for group A and 40.0, 28.0% for group B, respectively. For the two groups, 3- and 5-year DSS (disease-specific survival) were 61.0, 46.0% for group A and 38.0, 26.0% for group B, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that recurrence (P = 0.019) and regional lymph node metastasis (P = 0.043) were significant between the group A and group B patients.
conclusionThe oral tongue cancer patients had a better prognosis than base of tongue cancer patients. The difference in prognosis between the oral tongue cancer and the base of tongue cancer patients in this study was closely associated with the recurrence and regional lymph node metastasis. We conclude that the individual treatment should be used for base of tongue cancer patients.
