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
backgroundFloor of mouth squamous cell carcinoma (SCCFOM) is a rare but aggressive malignancy with 5-year overall survival (OS) rates below 40% in published studies. However, the clinicopathological predictors of the prognosis of SCCFOM remain undefined. We aimed to establish a model to predict the survival outcomes of SCCFOM.
methodsWe searched the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database for patients diagnosed with SCCFOM between 2000 and 2017. Data on patient demographics, treatment modalities, and survival outcomes were retrieved. Risk factors for OS were evaluated by survival and Cox regression analyses. A nomogram for OS was developed based on the multivariate model and split the patients into high- and low-risk cohorts based on cutoff values.
resultsOverall, 2014 SCCFOM patients were included in this population-based study. Multivariate Cox regression showed that age, married status, grade, American Joint Committee on Cancer stage, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgery were significant risk factors for survival. A nomogram was established using the regression model. The C-indices, areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves, and calibration plots demonstrated the reliable performance of the nomogram. Patients assigned to the high-risk group had a significantly lower survival rate.
conclusionsThe nomogram predicting survival outcomes of SCCFOM patients based on clinical information showed good discriminative ability and prognostic accuracy. Our nomogram could be used to predict the survival probabilities for SCCFOM patients at different timepoints.
