Radiotherapy Is Associated with an Accelerated Risk of Ischemic Stroke in Oral Cavity Cancer Survivors after Primary Surgery.
Article in Cancers, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 number of oral cavity carcinoma (OCC) survivors continues to increase due to advances in definitive surgery and radiation therapy (RT), however the risk of ischemic stroke is unclear in long-term survivors. In this study, survivors are defined as those who survived for >5 years after a diagnosis of OCC. They were matched at a 1:5 ratio with normal controls. Those who received surgery alone versus surgery+RT were also matched at a 1:1 ratio. From 2000 to 2005, 5172 OCC survivors who received surgery alone (
