The Role of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy in Head and Neck Cancers and Its Application Areas.
Review in Turkish archives of otorhinolaryngology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 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
The management of the clinically N0 neck in patients with head and neck cancers still remains controversial. Elective neck dissection is traditionally recommended when the subside of the head and neck, such as the oral cavity and supraglottic area, confers at least a 15-20% risk of lymphatic spread. However, elective neck dissection may cause an increase in patient morbidity and mortality rates. The emergence of sentinel lymph biopsy provides the possibility of accurate pathological staging of the cervical node with a less invasive procedure. The present review will summarize the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy and its application areas when evaluating occult metastases in patients with head and neck cancers.
