Predictive factors of cervical nodal metastases in N0 squamous cell carcinomas of the mobile tongue - A cohort study.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue is one of the most common cancers in the oral region, most frequently associated with lymph nodes metastases which influence the most the prognosis. The identification of predictive factors of occult cervical nodal metastases for N0 tumors will allow to adapt the treatment to the patient, avoiding over or under management. From 2014 to 2019, a cohort of 26 patients with SCC of the mobile tongue was reviewed by analysing the medical history, the epidemiological and clinical parameters, the tumor sites, aspects, diameters, depths of invasion, pathological degree, degree of differentiation, T classification and results of neck dissections. The incidence of occult cervical nodal metastases was up to 26,92% and a significant correlation was only found with the tumor depth invasion and the muscular invasion (p < 0,05). Presently, a low differentiated, highly graded tumor with a high depth and muscular invasion should warn from the high incidence of occult cervical nodal metastases and should recommend an elective neck dissection in all cases of N0 tongue SCC.
