1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Excision of submandibular gland is currently victim in all neck dissections. In this study we intend to estimate the prevalence of submandibular gland involvement in squamous cell oral carcinomas and identify the factors associated with it. This is a single institutional, retrospective observational study conducted from 22 to 2018 to 28 February 2020. 317 patients were included for analysis as per study criteria. The prevalence of involvement of submandibular gland was 3.8%. Increased risk of submandibular gland involvement was associated with involvement of level-Ib nodes (Odds ratio: 13.6, 2.9-63.3, 95% CI and p = < 0.001) and presence of extra-nodal extension (Odds ratio: 67, 8.4-532, 95% CI and p = < 0.001) and perineurial invasion (Odds ratio: 5, 1.6-16.8 and p = 0.003). In oral cancers, especially early stage carcinoma of buccal mucosa, submandibular gland preservation may be feasible in absence of extra-nodal extension and level-Ib involvement.
