Treatment Strategies for Malignancies of the External Auditory Canal.
Review in Current treatment options in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
opinion statementMalignant tumors of the external auditory canal (EAC) are rare tumors in the head and neck. Delayed diagnosis is not uncommon because the symptoms of early tumors are nonspecific. Various surgical and oncological treatment modalities have been reported. Decision-making depends on pathological feature and stage of the lesions, patient's general condition and preference, and physician's experience and skill. Radical surgery is widely accepted as the primary treatment of choice. Postoperative radiotherapy is used more often to improve local and regional control of the disease. Chemotherapy is usually recommended for advanced disease, residual disease, and metastasis. Prognosis is affected by multiple factors such as TNM stage, surgical margin, pathological type and differentiation of tumor, involvement of facial nerve, and so on. Although the survival rate is improved significantly over the past several decades with the development of skull base surgery, neuroradiology, anesthesiology, and oncology, it remains challenging to diagnose and treat EAC malignancies due to the rarity, the local anatomical complexity of temporal bone, and the lack of standard TNM staging system.
