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

We present two cases of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) metastasizing to the thyroid gland. This is the first report that shows (18) F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) images of tonsillar and supraglottic SCCs invading the thyroid gland. Alcohol and tobacco use are the two most important risk factors for head and neck cancers, but recently human papilloma virus (HPV) infection has become a significant risk factor in the United States. FDG-PET/CT is very useful for SCC staging/restaging and follow-up.
