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

Introduction: Radiation and intra-arterial cisplatin infusion chemotherapy (RADPLAT) for advanced maxillary sinus cancer has accumulated evidence as a treatment with fewer complications and better 5-year survival rates. In this study, we report a case in which pterygoid muscle necrosis occurred 6 months following RADPLAT treatment for maxillary sinus cancer. Case Presentation: The 45-year-old woman had a long history of taking immunosuppressants against rheumatoid arthritis (RA) prior to treatment. Although achieving complete response (CR) to RADPLAT, the patient developed trismus (1 fingerbreadth or less) 6 months following treatment. Abscess formation and recurrence were suspected from the imaging findings; however, the biopsy with endoscopy indicated necrotic tissue. Currently, 18 months have passed without cancer recurrence. Although trismus temporarily improved with rehabilitation, the width of the mouth opening is currently a few millimeters, so the patient can only take liquid food. Conclusion: Pterygoid muscle necrosis should be recognized as a new major complication.
