Causes of death after oral cancer diagnosis: a population based study.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Nowadays, the number of oral cancer survivors is increasing, emphasizing the importance of thoroughly understanding diverse causes of death in oral cancer survivors. Our study aimed to investigate the distribution of causes of death after oral cancer diagnosis. Methods: Eligible patients were identified between 2004 and 2015 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. We calculated the number of deaths in different demographic and clinicopathological variables during each follow-up period. Standardized mortality ratios(SMRs) were generated for each cause of death after oral cancer diagnosis. Results: A total of 30538 patients diagnosed with oral cancer were included, and 17654 deaths were reported during follow-up period. 27.08% of deaths were caused by non-caner reasons. The proportion of non-cancer related deaths increased with the extension of survival time, and non-cancer death accounted for 57.93% of all deaths when followed up more than 10 years. The most common non-cancer cause of death was cardiovascular disease (SMR 4.68#; 95%CI 4.46-4.92). Conclusions: Non-cancer causes of death should not be ignored in oral cancer patients. For oral cancer survivors, multidisciplinary follow-up strategy should be recommended to achieve longer survival time.
