Effect of relevant factors on radiation-induced nasopharyngeal ulcer in patients with primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo analyze the correlation between relevant factors and radiation-induced nasopharyngeal ulcer (RINU) in primary nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).
methodsClinical data were collected for 599 patients with newly diagnosed NPC who had completed IMRT. The entire cohort was randomly divided into two subgroups. The relationship between RINU and IMRT dose-volume were statistically analyzed with ROC curves and the Chi-square test. Nutritional status during and after treatment was compared between patients with vs without RINU.
resultsThe results obtained showed that dose-volume had no effect on the incidence of RINU (
conclusionThe results obtained show that the incidence of RINU is not related to IMRT dose-volume in the treatment of primary NPC. The incidence of RINU was found to be related to nutritional status during and after radiation therapy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2a.
