[Special tumor entities in the head and neck region: nasopharyngeal, salivary gland, and thyroid cancer].
Review in HNO, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAt the meetings of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) in 2022, studies were presented which suggest changes in the clinical routine of nasopharyngeal, salivary gland, and thyroid cancer.
objectiveTherapeutic innovations for special otorhinolaryngological tumor entities with potential clinical relevance were assessed after reviewing the studies presented at the ASCO 2022/ESMO 2022 meetings. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe presented clinical phase II and phase III studies were analyzed. Results were classified according to their potential clinical importance, taking into account current treatment standards.
resultsThree studies were presented that dealt with the topic of risk-adapted treatment stratification in advanced nasopharyngeal cancer. Dose-reduced radiotherapy (60 Gy) in low-risk patients resulted in a favorable toxicity profile with promising oncological results in a single-arm phase II study. In a phase III study, intensity-modulated radiotherapy alone showed comparable survival to combined radiochemotherapy with cisplatin in selected low-risk patients. In high-risk patients, addition of the EGFR antibody nimotuzumab to definitive radiochemotherapy showed an increased 5‑year survival rate compared to placebo (phase III study). Although an immediate change in clinical practice in Europe based on these studies is questionable, the concept of risk-adapted therapy taking into account biological characteristics (Epstein-Barr virus [EBV] DNA level) is future orientated. Similar to previous years, the contributions on recurrent/metastatic salivary gland and thyroid cancer emphasized the importance of targeted therapies based on vulnerable molecular target lesions.
