Management and outcome of locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Review in National journal of maxillofacial surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Management of locally advanced OSCC is multimodal. No single therapy has been proved to be efficacious. However there is a trend towards surgical intervention in operable disease. In this review we appraise the various therapies used for the management of locally advanced OSCC. We review the literature with regards to the various treatment options for locally advanced OSCC. We categorically divided the manuscript into resectable, unresectable and technically unresectable disease. Surgery is the ideal treatment modality for resectable disease. For unresectable disease concurrent chemoradiation appears to improve survival compared to radiotherapy alone. Induction therapy might downstage tumors in the unresectable category. Targeted and Immunotherapy is reserved for recurrent, metastatic or platinum refractory OSCC. Management of locally advanced OSCC is multimodal with surgery playing the primary role. In the event where the tumor is in operable concurrent chemoradiotherapy is regarded as the best treatment modality. Induction chemotherapy currently cannot be recommended for resectable or even unresectable oral squamous cell carcinomas. However for technically unresectable disease it might play a role in improving respectability but it depends on the response of the tumor. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy is currently used for recurrent, metastatic and/or platinum refractory Head and Neck cancers. Currently it is not recommended for initial management of locally advanced disease.
