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
Background To the knowledge of the authors, no strong evidence supports surveillance imaging in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Purpose To investigate the association between surveillance imaging and mortality using a population-based study design with statewide cancer registry data, all-payer claims data, and health care facility data. Materials and Methods The retrospective population-based study identified patients with HNC diagnosed between January 2012 and December 2017. Current Procedural Terminology codes were used to search surveillance imaging procedures. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for mortality with adjustment for sex, ethnicity, age, health insurance status, cancer site, stage, and treatment. Results The study identified 1004 patients (mean age, 61 years ± 12 [SD]; 753 men), including 902 patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) HNC and 102 patients with non-SCC. The effect of imaging on mortality among patients with SCC was not statistically significant when the entire sample was analyzed (HR, 0.76; 95% CI: 0.57, 1.02;
