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

Surgery remains a foundation of treatment for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. For postoperative patients at high risk of recurrence, however, surgery by itself is not enough, and improvement in survival requires postoperative treatment. Unlike the case with most other malignancies, the standard postoperative treatment for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck patients with high-risk factors for recurrence is radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin. However, chemoradiotherapy with cisplatin at a dose of 100 mg/m2 once every 3 weeks has raised discussion over insufficient cisplatin delivery due to high-dose-related toxicity. As a possible solution, a recent randomized trial of the JCOG1008 has proved the non-inferiority of postoperative chemoradiotherapy with weekly cisplatin at a dose of 40 mg/m2 to 3-weekly cisplatin in terms of overall survival. Here, this review article focuses on current evidence and future perspectives of postoperative treatment for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
