Mouth Self-Examination for Prevention and Control of Oral Cavity Cancer.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Oral cavity cancer is one of the most common preventable cancers in the world. The burden of the disease is high in South Asia. Therefore, public health strategies such as creating awareness and disease screening should be advocated for its prevention and early detection. Mouth self-examination serves both the purposes. It is easy to perform, non-invasive, and low-cost methods. It not only helps in the early detection of suspicious oral lesions but also helps people to quit their high-risk behaviors such as consumption of tobacco and alcohol.
