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
Aims: The present study examines the role of demographic and pathological features of primary tumours in predicting neck metastasis in early oral cavity cancers, which has been a matter of debate. Methods: A single-centre, retrospective, institution review was conducted of all the patients presented to our centre from January 2014 to December 2021. Patient characteristics were compared between the two lymph node groups (lymph node positive and lymph node negative) and significant prognostic factors were determined. Results: A total of 462 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients were included, 407 male and 55 female. Tobacco chewing (59.2%) was a major habit with buccal mucosa (49.5%) and tongue (44.8%) as primary sites. The majority of the patient's histology was of SCC (96.8%) with grade II (moderately differentiated, 74.5%). Univariate logistic regression analysis to predict lymph node metastasis showed pT size (< 0.001), LVI (< 0.001), and PNI (< 0.001) as significant tumor characteristics. On multivariate, pT size (OR-1.58, Conclusion: Reporting and studying the clinico-pathological features of primary tumors can give vital information in predicting the neck node metastasis in OSCC patients.
