Changes in Oral Function and Quality of Life in Tongue Cancer Patients Based on Resected Area.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTreatment of tongue cancer caused oral morbidities such as oral dryness, and dysphagia. The purpose of this study is to examine the time course of oral function and QOL based on resected area for patients after tongue cancer resection.
methods31 patients who underwent tongue cancer resection at the Showa University Head and Neck Oncology Center. The participants were divided into two groups; 24 participants in partial/hemi glossectomy group (PG), and seven in subtotal/total glossectomy group (TG). Participants were evaluated swallowing function (FOIS and MASA-C), tongue pressure (TP: kPa), BMI, whole body muscle mass (kg), and QOL evaluation (EORTC QLQ-C30, H & N35). Participants were measured at baseline (before surgical treatment), 1, 3, and 6 months after surgical treatment (1M, 3M, and 6M).
resultsAt baseline, tongue pressure and FOIS score of PG were significant higher than that of TG. At 1M, TP, MASA-C, and FOIS score of PG were significant higher than that of TG. At 3M, TP, MASA-C, and FOIS score of PG were significant higher than that of TG. At 6M, TP and MASA-C were significantly higher than that of TG. QOL measurements did not noted any significant difference between groups before 6M. At 6M, Some QOL measurements of TG related tongue function (Swallowing, Senses, Speech, Social contact) were significantly lower than PG.
conclusionsThe resected area had significant effects on oral morbidities and feeding function. It is necessary to develop more effective rehabilitation methods to improve patients QOL who had functional impairment remained.<br />.
