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

purposeThe current established technique for sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is preoperative injection of

methodsSingle-centre pilot study of five patients with early-stage OSCC. For all patients, both techniques (

resultsIn all five patients sentinel lymph nodes were identified. A total of 7 SLN were identified after injection of

conclusionsOur study shows that ICG-guided SLN biopsy is a feasible technique, especially in combination with conventional radioisotope method and may help for intraoperative localization of SLN. Validation studies with bigger patient cohorts are needed to prove our results.
