Central Compartment Neck Dissection in Laryngeal and Hypopharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Clinical Considerations.
Review in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Metastatic lymph node involvement represents the most relevant prognostic factor in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs), invariably affecting overall survival, disease-specific survival, and relapse-free survival. Among HNSCCs, laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers are known to be at highest risk to metastasize to the central neck compartment (CNC). However, prevalence and prognostic implications related to the CNC involvement are not well defined yet, and controversies still exist regarding the occult metastasis rate. Guidelines for the management of CNC in laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers are vague, resulting in highly variable selection criteria for the central neck dissection among different surgeons and institutions. With this review, the authors intend to reappraise the existing data related to the involvement of CNC in laryngeal and hypopharyngeal malignancies, in the attempt to define the principles of management while highlighting the debated aspects that are lacking in evidence and consensus. Furthermore, as definition and boundaries of the CNC have changed over the years, an up-to-date anatomical-surgical description of the CNC is provided.
