Revisiting the Predictive Factors for Nodal Metastasis in Oral Cancers-a Leap Towards Personalized Patient Treatment Approach.
Article in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The incidence of oral squamous cell carcinoma is steadily increasing globally, and even with a better understanding of tumor biology and advanced treatment modalities, the survival of OSCC patients is still not improved. A single metastatic cervical node can decrease survival by 50%. Our study intends to identify the clinical, radiological, and histological factors, significant for nodal metastasis in the pretreatment setting. Ninety-three patients' data is prospectively collected and analyzed to identify the significance of various factors in predicting nodal metastasis. Clinical factors like smokeless tobacco and nodal characteristics and T category and radiological factors like the number of specific nodes were significant for pathological nodes on univariate analysis. Ankyloglossia, radiological ENE, and radiological nodal size were significant on multivariate analysis also. In the pretreatment setting, clinicopathological and radiological factors can be used to predict nodal metastasis in generating predictive nomograms and for better planning of treatment.
