Multifocal and Recurrent Tonsillar Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The following study describes a complex clinical course of recurrent and multifocal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tonsil, involving both initial and subsequent malignancies over several years. The patient, a 54-year-old male with a history of tobacco use, first presented with SCC of the left tonsil, treated with tonsillectomy and neck dissection. Despite clear margins post-surgery, the patient developed SCC in the right tonsil two years later, requiring further surgical intervention and a comprehensive treatment approach. The disease then progressed to the base of the tongue and right larynx, necessitating a total laryngectomy and subtotal glossectomy. The report emphasizes the critical role of advanced imaging and surgical techniques, including robotic-assisted surgery, in managing such complex cases. Additionally, the case highlights the challenges of treating advanced oropharyngeal SCC, the importance of multidisciplinary management, and the need for consistent follow-up to monitor treatment efficacy and manage complications. The case underscores the complexity of SCC in the head and neck region and the necessity for tailored therapeutic strategies to improve patient outcomes.
