Paranasal Sinus Invasion Should Be Classified as T4 Disease in Advanced Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients Receiving Radiotherapy.
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 2 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
In this study, we explored the association between paranasal sinus invasion and prognosis in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC, (T3/T4N0-3M0), and we assessed the possibility of considering paranasal sinus invasion a T category in the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system. We enrolled 352 NPC patients who received intensity-modulated radiotherapy between 2008 and 2012. Clinical characteristics and follow-up data were collected. The incidence of paranasal sinus invasion was 36.4% (128 of 352 patients). Multivariate cox regression analysis indicated that paranasal sinus invasion and cervical lymphatic metastasis were independent negative prognostic factors for overall survival (OS,
