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

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of neoplasia which affects the mucosa of the upper aero-digestive tract. We present the case of a male patient that at the clinical exam showed a tumor mass at the rhinopharynx. The CT examination showed a tumor mass developed from the upper portion of the oropharynx, from the soft palate. The tumor was invasive into the nasopharynx, and into the structures of skull base the skull base, and with bilateral lymphnodes metastasis. At histopathological examination, the fragments of tumor biopsy revealed the aspect of a moderately differentiated keratinised squamous cell carcinoma, with lymph node metastasis, and with invasion in the adjacent fibro-muscular tissue.
