Evaluation of Vascular Patterns Using Contact Endoscopy and Narrow-Band Imaging (CE-NBI) for the Diagnosis of Vocal Fold Malignancy.
Article in Cancers, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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 endoscopic detection of perpendicular vascular changes (PVC) of the vocal folds has been associated with vocal fold cancer, dysplastic lesions, and papillomatosis, according to a classification proposed by the European Laryngological Society (ELS). The combination of contact endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (NBI-CE) allows intraoperatively a highly contrasted, real-time visualization of vascular changes of the vocal folds. Aim of the present study was to determine the association of PVC to specific histological diagnoses, the level of interobserver agreement in the detection of PVC, and their diagnostic effectiveness in diagnosing laryngeal malignancy. The evaluation of our data confirmed the association of PVC to vocal fold cancer, dysplastic lesions, and papillomatosis. The level of agreement between the observers in the identification of PVC was moderate for the less-experienced observers and almost perfect for the experienced observers. The identification of PVC during NBI-CE proved to be a valuable indicator for diagnosing malignant and premalignant lesions.
