Identifying factors related to delayed neck metastasis after surgical treatment in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma.

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.
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
backgroundGeneral treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is surgical treatment with or without neck dissection. Although the incidence of delayed neck metastasis is rare, it may occur after the surgery and is known to be the most important factor in the prognosis. The purpose of is study is to evaluate the clinical and histopathological factors associated with delayed neck metastasis case among patients.
methodsA total of 195 patients who underwent surgical treatment for OSCC from 2016 to 2022 were investigated. Among them, delayed neck metastasis (DNM) was analyzed. The criterion for delayed neck metastasis was a newly developed neck lesion after the primary operation without neck dissection in cN0 necks. To identify the correlation between prognostic factors and the incidence of delayed neck metastasis, χ
resultAmong 195 patients, 14 were discovered to have DNM. The primary tumor locations were the tongue (n = 5), floor of the mouth (n = 2), mandibular gingiva (n = 1), maxillary gingiva (n = 4), retromolartrigone (n = 1), and buccal mucosa (n = 2) each. The cases consisted of TNM stage I (n = 1), stage II (n = 3), stage III (n = 3), and stage IV (n = 8), respectively. The result of the χ
conclusionDNM after surgical treatment of OSCC is a rare event, and few were found in a review of the literature. Also, many prognostic factors have been suggested but controversial. However, in our study, some prognostic factors have been identified to have a significant correlation with the incidence of DNM, and analysis of such factors provides important information predicting neck metastasis and the prognosis.
