The change in tumor volume after induction chemotherapy with docetaxel plus cisplatin in 259 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeTo assess the tumor volume change after induction chemotherapy with docetaxel plus cisplatin (DP) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
methodsA total of 259 non-metastatic NPC patients who received DP induction chemotherapy were retrospectively reviewed. Gross tumor volume of nasopharynx and lymph nodes (GTVnx and GTVnd) were contoured before and after chemotherapy. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors associated with tumor volume reduction.
resultsFor GTVnx, the mean volume before and after chemotherapy were 43.2 cm
conclusionDP induction chemotherapy reduces tumor volumes moderately in NPC. Larger pre-treatment tumor volumes and three cycles of chemotherapy are associated with higher likelihood of tumor volume reduction.
