Squamous cell carcinoma involving the midline of the dorsum of the tongue: a case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 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
Introduction: Most cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue occur on the lateral surface; however, SCC of the dorsum is extremely rare. Case presentation: The authors describe the case of a 79-year-old man with SCC involving the midline of the dorsum of the tongue. The lesion was surgically resected. The patient was followed up for 1 year and 6 months, and no recurrence was noted. Discussion: SCC of the dorsal midline is even rarer and accounts for less than 1% of tongue carcinomas. SCC involving the dorsum may have a worse prognosis than SCC of the lateral or ventral surface. This report is the first to use submental flap reconstruction to treat cancer of the midline dorsum of the tongue. Conclusion: The authors encountered a case of SCC involving the midline of the dorsum of the tongue, which has rarely been reported in the literature. The authors attained a favorable outcome through surgical intervention.
