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

backgroundThe 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) classification has introduced two new parameters: depth of invasion (DOI) and extranodal extension (ENE). The aim of this systematic review was to determine whether this 8th edition referred to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) offers performance superior to that of the 7th edition in relation to overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). MATERIAL AND

methodsThe review was carried out following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) guidelines. The PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus and Cochrane Library databases were searched covering the period up until April 7th, 2022.

resultsThirteen retrospective cohort studies were finally included. The introduction of DOI and ENE in the 8th edition of the AJCC classification resulted in improved prognostic performance of the classification.

conclusionsPatients with OSCC can be better classified in relation to OS and DSS, while maintaining the simplicity and ease of use of the classification. This allows more appropriate treatment protocols to be applied and affords a better estimation of the prognosis of each patient.
