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

backgroundHead and neck cancers that cause severe aesthetic and functional disorders normally metastasize to the cervical lymph nodes. Patients with cervical lymph node metastasis are undergoing neck dissection. Shoulder complaints are common after neck dissection, with patients reporting symptoms such as pain, weakness, shoulder droop, and disability. However, no safe and effective treatment is available for this condition at present. We will conduct a double-blinded, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of carbon dioxide (CO

objectiveThis will be the first clinical study to compare the efficacy of CO

methodsWe will perform this trial at the Kobe University Hospital in Japan. Patients will be randomized 1:1 into the CO

resultsThe intervention commenced in May 2021 and will continue until March 2024. The collected data will provide information on the efficacy of the CO

conclusionsThis trial will provide exploratory evidence of the efficacy and safety of CO
