Complete response of recurrent oral squamous cell carcinoma treated with cetuximab in combination with radiotherapy: A case series.
Article in Oncology letters, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Salvage surgery for recurrent oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) often leads to a poor quality of life (QOL). The present study described three cases that resulted in favorable locoregional control with cetuximab in combination with radiotherapy (Cmab + RT). Case 1 had regional recurrence of OSCC at the lower right mastoid area 4 months after primary surgery. Case 2 had regional recurrence of OSCC at the parotid area 7 months after primary surgery. Case 3 had local recurrence of OSCC at the masticatory muscle and Rouviere's lymph nodes 1 year and 3 months after primary surgery. In all cases, Cmab + RT was performed, and disease-free survival was confirmed 4 months, 2 years and 6 months, and 10 months after Cmab + RT, respectively. Immunohistochemically, all resected tumors had no expression of 110-kDa catalytic subunit of class IA phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3Kp110α). In conclusion, if salvage surgery for recurrent OSCC results in a significantly low QOL, then shifting to chemoradiotherapy may be appropriate as a treatment strategy. In addition, strong evidence indicated that PI3Kp110α expression is associated with Cmab therapy efficacy.
