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

purposeThis study aimed to assess the imaging features and postoperative natural course of MATERIALS AND

methodsThis study included 83 patients who underwent preoperative and postoperative

resultsIncreased postoperative uptakes were observed in 43 patients (52%). The trapezius (31/83, 37%), sternocleidomastoid (19/83, 23%), and scalene (12/83, 14%) muscles were involved, as opposed to the pectoralis major and deltoid muscles were not. Increased postoperative uptakes were observed on the dissected side in all 43 patients. Significant differences between SUVmax estimated from the mixed-effects model and postoperative months were observed in the trapezius muscle (Coefficient (β) = -0.038; 95% confidence interval (CI): [-0.047, -0.028]; p < 0.001) and sternocleidomastoid muscle (β =  -0.015; 95% CI: [-0.029, -0.001]; p = 0.046).

conclusionsIncreased postoperative uptakes in the cervical muscles were observed on the dissected side in approximately half of the patients after neck dissection. The SUVmax in the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles decreased after surgery over time.
