CT Evaluation of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Nasopharynx.
Article in Current health sciences journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of neoplasia which affects the mucosa of the upper aero-digestive tract. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is a unique disease with clinical behavior, epidemiology, and histopathology that is different from that of squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. For malignant tumors such as SCC, rapid growth may occur even though there are no previous clinical signs. Enlargement of a cervical lymph node, as the first presenting feature of neoplasia, is not uncommon, particularly with certain "silent" site, such as nasopharynx. Therefore, clinical examination must be complemented by radiological examination for the assessment of size, thickness and depth of the tumor, the degree of bone tissue invasion, and to detect the presence of enlarged lymph nodes. A total of 16 cases of patients were studied using CT, all diagnosed and operated with squamous cancer with localization in the nasopharynx.
