Imaging of the Posttreatment Head and Neck: Expected Findings and Potential Complications.
Review in Radiology. Imaging cancer, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Interpretation of posttreatment imaging findings in patients with head and neck cancer can pose a substantial challenge. Malignancies in this region are often managed through surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and newer approaches like immunotherapy. After treatment, patients may experience various expected changes, including mucositis, soft-tissue inflammation, laryngeal edema, and salivary gland inflammation. Imaging techniques such as CT, MRI, and PET scans help differentiate these changes from tumor recurrence. Complications such as osteoradionecrosis, chondroradionecrosis, and radiation-induced vasculopathy can arise because of radiation effects. Radiation-induced malignancies may occur in the delayed setting. This review article emphasizes the importance of posttreatment surveillance imaging to ensure proper care of patients with head and neck cancer and highlights the complexities in distinguishing between expected treatment effects and potential complications.
