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

The treatment and prognosis of non-operable high-risk head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are poor. There is no definitive model for therapy in these cases to date, but strategies that have been utilized include radiation therapy (RT) with or without chemotherapy. Here, we report the effectiveness of arterial embolization with subsequent chemoradiation with cisplatin in a case of advanced oropharyngeal SCC. These interventions resulted in a remarkable tumor burden reduction of a stage IV SCC of the head and neck that had been deemed nonresectable.
