Patterns of Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis in Locally Advanced Supraglottic Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Implications for Neck CTV Delineation.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 investigate the prevalence and distribution of cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) in locally advanced supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma (LASCC) and guide the delineation of clinical lymph node target volumes. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe reviewed patients defined as LASCC from January 2000 to December 2017 in our hospital. The primary tumor was operated on using partial or total laryngectomy, and all patients underwent bilateral neck dissection (levels II-IV at least). Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to find risk factors associated with LNM.
resultsA total of 206 patients were enrolled. In the whole group, the rate of ipsilateral metastasis (IM) was 60.9% (67 patients), whereas contralateral metastasis was 25.5% (28 patients). Only positive ipsilateral lymph nodes contributed to contralateral metastasis (
conclusionNeck levels II to IV are most frequently involved and should be included in clinical target volume (CTV) in cN
