1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe delineation of clinical target volume (CTV) base on the correlation analysis between neck node levels of OCSCC has not been reported in detail. This study analyzes the correlations between the neck node levels in 208 cases of OCSCC, and aims to provide preliminary reference for the CTV delineation in OCSCC patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe records of 208 OCSCC patients were retrospectively analyzed. The neck node levels were evaluated according to the 2013 updated guidelines. The Chi-square test and logistic regression model were used to analyze the correlation of each level.

resultsThe most common involved level in OCSCC is Ib (45.7%) and IIa (40.4%). Correlation analysis of OCSCC showed that nodal spread in level Ia is related to levels Ib and VIa. Level Ib is related to levels Ia, IIa, IX. Level IIa is related to levels Ib, IIb, III. Level IIb is related to levels IIa, III, Va. Level III is related to levels IIa, IIb, Va. Level Va is related to levels IIb and III. Level VIa is related to level Ia and T stage. Level IX is only related to level Ib. T stage is only related to level VIa. All the above P values are < 0.05.

conclusionsThe related levels can be considered as high-risk region (HRR) and the unrelated levels as low-risk region (LRR) in the radiotherapy of OCSCC patients. This study can make the CTV delineation more individualized and accurate.
