Significance of SUV Max for Predicting Occult Lymph Node Metastasis and Prognosis in Early-Stage Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Journal of oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
objectiveOur goal was to clarify the significance of SUV max for predicting occult lymph node metastasis and prognosis in early-stage tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
methodscT1-2N0 tongue SCC patients who underwent a preoperative PET-CT examination were prospectively enrolled. The association between SUV max and occult lymph node metastasis was analyzed. The main study endpoint was locoregional control (LRC). The Cox model was used to determine the independent factors.
resultsA total of 120 patients were included for analysis, and the median SUV max was 9.7. In 60 patients with an SUV max ≤9.7, 5 patients had occult metastasis; in 60 patients with an SUV max >9.7, 13 patients had occult metastasis, and the difference was significant (
conclusionAn SUV max >9.7 was a marker for occult lymph node metastasis and could decrease LRC in patients with cT1-2N0 tongue SCC.
