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

Given the global increase in the incidence of head and neck cancers over the last decade, the use of chemoradiation has also increased. It is well known that chemotherapy/radiation are established standard therapies in head and neck cancers, especially in patients who are not candidates for surgery. Despite this increase in chemoradiation therapies in head and neck cancers, there is a lack of established guidelines on the surveillance and screening of these patients for long-term complications. We present an interesting case of acute left eye blindness in a veteran patient with a history of laryngeal cancer status post chemoradiation and in the setting of a left ventricular (LV) thrombus on anticoagulation resulting in a diagnostic challenge determining the etiology. This case emphasizes the need for thorough patient-centered annual evaluation, thus providing an opportunity for early noninvasive or minimally invasive intervention.
