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

objectivesTo study and analyze the clinical patterns of lower-level lymph node (Ⅳ and Ⅴ) metastasis in primary tongue squamous cell carcinoma, and establish a reference for the decision-making of the lower-level neck dissection in tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

methodsA total of 203 patients with primary tongue squamous cell carcinoma were recruited. These patients underwent simultaneous/secondary comprehensive neck (level Ⅰ-Ⅴ) dissection in Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2010 to December 2015. Their clinicopathological and follow-up data were obtained and analyzed to reveal the prognosis and risk factors of primary tongue squamous cell carcinoma with lower-level lymph node metastasis.

resultsAmong the 203 patients, the metastasis rates of levels Ⅳ and Ⅴ are 14.78% and 4.93%, respectively. Level Ⅳ metastasis is more prevalent in males than females (

conclusionsMost primary tongue squamous cell carcinoma metastases occur in levels Ⅰ-Ⅲ. However, the rate of lower-level lymph node metastasis is rather low. For the cN0 and cN+ patients with levels Ⅰ-Ⅱ lymph node metastases without extracapsular invasion, the strategy for level Ⅴ management may be observation rather than dissection.
