The reconstructive oral cancer patient: what the general dental practitioner needs to know.
Article in British dental journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 rate of oral cancer is on the rise; lesions are often being picked up late meaning it is necessary for patients to undergo multidisciplinary head and neck reconstruction. Working in a specialist head and neck oncology unit this year has opened my eyes as to how this patient subgroup is managed, with regards to both a surgical and restorative basis. This article has been written to help inform GDPs about the upcoming NHS guidelines, 'The NHS Oral Cancer Toolkit', in the management of oral cancer patients. Furthermore, I hope that the reader gains an appreciation for what the oral cancer patient endures on their toilsome journey. This article is designed as a refresher on the restorative management of the oral cancer patient. After having read this article you will have an improved awareness of the '8-step' oral cancer screen and an insight as to what happens when the patient is sent on the urgent cancer pathway. Most importantly, this paper will refresh your learning on what the GDP needs to do in the preoperative and postoperative phases with regards to the oral health and wellbeing of the reconstructive oral cancer patient.
