1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

To investigate the applicability of the validated histological risk model in a cohort of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma patients treated concurrently with neck dissections. Primary tumours from 85 patients with primary excision of T1 and T2 Oral Squamous Cell Carcinomas (TNM 7th edition) including neck dissection were scored by three pathologists in consensus according to the validated risk model. The risk score data, along with traditional dataset values, were analysed to determine possible association with nodal metastasis and extracapsular spread. Seventy-two patients (54%) were classified with low or intermediate risk and 62 (46%) patients were 'high risk'. A chi squared test showed that cases with nodal metastasis were highly statistically significant with the overall risk model score (X
