Ultrasound-guided resection for squamous cell carcinoma of the buccal mucosa: A feasibility study.
Article in Head & neck, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 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
backgroundImage-guided surgery could help obtain clear (≥5.0 mm) resection margins. This feasibility study investigated ultrasound-guided resection accuracy of buccal mucosa squamous cell carcinoma (BMSCC).
methodsMRI and ultrasound measurements of tumor thickness were compared to histology in 13 BMSCC-patients. Ultrasound measured margins (at five locations) on the specimen were compared to the corresponding histological margins.
resultsAccuracy of in- and ex-vivo ultrasound (mean deviation from histology: 1.6 mm) for measuring tumor thickness was comparable to MRI (mean deviation from histology: 2.6 mm). The sensitivity to detect clear margins using ex-vivo ultrasound was low (48%). If an ex-vivo ultrasound cutoff of ≥7.5 mm would be used, the sensitivity would increase to 86%.
conclusionsUltrasound-guided resection of BMSCC's is feasible. In- and ex-vivo ultrasound measure tumor thickness in BMSCC accurately. We recommend ≥7.5 mm resection margins on ex-vivo ultrasound to obtain histological clear margins. Additional research is required to establish the effect of 7.5 mm ultrasound cutoff.
