Two brothers with human papillomavirus-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil: A case report.

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
Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is a distinct subtype of head and neck cancer that has become increasingly linked to human papillomavirus over the last four decades. Described is the case of two brothers diagnosed with human papillomavirus-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma 6 years apart. The first brother, R.M., presented with an 8-month history of tonsillar swelling, found to be stage III human papillomavirus-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Despite delayed treatment with chemoradiation, he developed metastatic disease and succumbed to his illness. The second brother, K.M., presented only 3 weeks after the development of neck swelling given his family history, which was also diagnosed as stage III human papillomavirus-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Following prompt chemoradiation and neck dissection, K.M. has remained in remission for 9 years. Literature has yet to characterize this degree of familial clustering among human papillomavirus-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas. Hence, this introduces the possibility of a genetic predisposition to human papillomavirus's oncogenesis in the oropharynx. This case emphasizes the importance for clinicians to stay vigilant of the family history of human papillomavirus, as well as poses significant implications for future research investigating the interaction of genetic aberrations on human papillomavirus's oncogenic process.
