Beyond the boundaries of compartmental hemiglossectomy: a proposal for an anatomically based classification of surgical approaches to advanced oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionIn the last decade, compartmental surgery (CTS) has been the surgical approach of choice for advanced tumors of the tongue and oral floor.
methodsAdvanced tumors (cT3-T4) oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) may extend beyond the lingual septum and involve the contralateral hemitongue, developing along the intrinsic transverse muscle. The disease may then involve the genioglossus muscle and, more laterally, the hyoglossus muscle.
resultsThe surgical approach to the contralateral tongue must be guided by anatomic and anatomopathological principles to achieve a safe oncological resection based on the principles of CTS.
conclusionWe propose a schematic classification of glossectomies that extend to the contralateral hemitongue based on the anatomy and pathways of tumor spread.
