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
This study aimed to determine the maximum tolerance dose (MTD) and to estimate the recommended dose (RD) of concomitant S-1 with carbon-ion radiotherapy (RT) for sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Nine patients with sinonasal SCC received carbon-ion RT with escalating doses of S-1 according to phase I methods. Doses of 40, 60 and 80 mg/m2/day were administered twice daily in dose levels 1, 2 and 3, respectively, from days 1 to 14 and 22 to 35. Carbon-ion RT was administered at a dose of 70.4 Gy (relative biological effectiveness) in 32 fractions, 5 days a week. Two patients developed grade 3 acute dermatitis. However, none developed dose-limiting toxicities. Therefore, the MTD of S-1 could not be determined; the RD was estimated to be 80 mg/m2/day with concurrent carbon-ion RT. Partial response and stable disease were noted in 5 and 4 patients, respectively. The 2-year overall survival and local control rates were 56 and 74%, respectively. Overall, 2 patients developed ≥grade 3 late toxicities; among them, 1 patient developed grade 3 cataract and the other developed grade 4 cataract, optic nerve disorder and hearing impairment. To the best of our knowledge, this phase I study is the first clinical trial to evaluate concomitant S-1 with carbon-ion RT for sinonasal SCC. The MTD of S-1 could not be determined, and the RD was estimated to be 80 mg/m2/day. This study demonstrated a manageable safety profile for this combination. The observed outcomes may facilitate further evaluation of this novel therapy.
