The oral management of patients who have received radiotherapy to the head and neck region.
Article in British dental journal, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Several thousand patients are diagnosed annually with head and neck cancer (HANC) in the United Kingdom. This represents a significant proportion of all cancers that are diagnosed and a common treatment modality for this is radiotherapy to the head and neck region. Radiotherapy can be highly successful in managing HANC but also has several side-effects in the oral cavity and associated structures. These sequelae present considerable short and long-term problems for dental professionals involved in the care of HANC suffers.
