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

The aim of study is to determine whether chronic osteomyelitis (COM) is linked to an increased risk of head and neck cancer (HNC).We identify 17,033 patients with osteomyelitis and 68,125 subjects without osteomyelitis during 1996 to 2010 periods. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to measure the hazard ratio (HR) of head and neck cancer for the osteomyelitis cohort compared with the comparison cohort.A total of 99 patients in the COM and 228 patients in the comparison cohort developed HNC during an average 5.12 years of follow-up period. The incidence rate of HNC in the COM cohort was 1.51-fold (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.17-1.95) higher than that in the comparison cohort after adjusting gender, age, urbanization level, monthly income, and comorbidities. In subgroup analysis, younger (less than 45 years-old) and patients without comorbidities have greater risks (adjusted HR: 2.29 [95% CI:1.43-3.66] and 1.74 [95% CI:1.28-2.38] respectively).This study results suggested the association between COM and HNC, particularly in younger population and patients without comorbidities.
