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

Objectives: Our study aims to determine the incidence and potential risk factors for cerebral radiation necrosis (CRN) following treatment of sinonasal malignancies. Methods: One hundred thirty-two patients diagnosed with sinonasal malignancies over an 18-year period were identified at two institutions. Forty-six patients meeting inclusion criteria and treated with radiation therapy were included for analysis. Demographic and clinical-pathologic characteristics were collected and reviewed. Post-treatment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at least 1 year following treatment was reviewed to determine presence or absence of CRN. Results: CRN was identified on MRI in 8 of 46 patients (17.4%) following radiation treatment. Patients with a history of reirradiation were more likely to develop CRN (50% vs. 10.5%, Conclusions: Reirradiation and tumor skull base involvement were significant risk factors associated with CRN. Higher average total prescribed and BEDs of radiation were seen in the CRN groups, but these differences were not statistically significant. Gender, comorbidities, tumor subsite, tumor location, and treatment type were not significantly different between groups. Level of evidence: Level 3.
