Concurrent preoperative chemotherapy and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy followed by surgery for oral squamous cell carcinoma: a retrospective analysis of 104 cases.

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
objectivesThe objectives of this study were to assess the clinical effects of an integrated program consisting of concurrent preoperative combined paclitaxel and nedaplatin chemotherapy and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy followed by surgery intended to cure oral squamous cell carcinoma and to determine whether this integrated program is feasible and effective with respect to the treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma.
methodsA total of 104 biopsy-confirmed patients who presented with oral squamous cell carcinoma for the first time were included in this study. Concurrent preoperative combined paclitaxel and nedaplatin chemotherapy and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy were administered to these patients. The most common treatment regimen consisted of infusions of paclitaxel (135-175 mg/m
resultsThe median follow-up time for surviving patients was 60 months, and the median time to progression for all patients was 57.69 months (95% confidence interval, 56.09 to 59.29 months, and the 3-year disease-free survival probability was 97.11%). The effectiveness rate of the integrated program was 98.08%, and the surgery resection rate was 100%. Only a few postoperative adverse reactions were observed. The local recurrence and distant metastasis rates were 1.92% (2 patients) and 2.88% (3 patients), respectively. The titanium rejection and infection reaction rate that led to restriction of mouth opening was only 2.88% (3 patients). Finally, the 5-year post-surgery survival rate was 91.35% (95 patients).
conclusionPreoperative combined paclitaxel and nedaplatin chemotherapy and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy have significant clinical effects leading to positive anti-tumor results in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma. These treatments also increase the likelihood that patients will undergo successful surgical treatment. The integrated program described herein can increase long-term survival and surgery resection rates and is associated with only a limited number of adverse reactions.
