The "INT-EX Technique": Internal to External Approach in Carotid Body Tumour Surgery.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Carotid body tumours are rare and mostly benign neoplasm. They are slow growing but can evade or exert pressure on neighbouring important neurovascular structures. Hence, surgical resection remains the treatment modality of choice for large tumours partially or completely encasing the carotid arteries. But the surgical resection of these tumours with minimum morbidity is challenging because of their highly vascular nature. Earlier literature has dealt with various aspects of management of carotid body tumours including classification, morbidity, work-up, embolisation and extent of resection. However, the options in techniques of dissection for carotid body tumours have not been elaborated much. Here, we describe a stepwise dissection technique of carotid body tumours from the internal carotid towards the external carotid artery. This surgical technique, named as "the internal to external (INT-EX) technique", provides better control of bleeding during the surgery, ease of dissection and lesser post-operative morbidity.
