Review in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07739771 (Retrospective Evaluation of Severe Oral Mucositis Incidence, Time to Onset and Functional Impact in Quality of Life in Head and Neck Cancer Radiated and Chemo-radiated Patients. Part of the Stop Oral Mucositis Project), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Radiotherapy- or chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis (RIOM/CIOM) presents significant challenges in cancer treatment, severely impacting patients' quality of life (QoL) and therapeutic outcomes. Despite advancements, existing prevention and treatment measures have notable limitations. RIOM/CIOM involves a multifaceted interplay of inflammatory cascades orchestrated by the innate immune response. Furthermore, dysbiosis of oral and intestinal microbiota, triggered by anticancer therapy, exacerbates mucosal damage through intricate interactions with the innate immune system. This review provides an update on pivotal signaling pathways governing the initiation and progression of RIOM/CIOM. It also elucidates the intricate relationship between microbiota dysbiosis and dysregulation of oral mucosal immune homeostasis. Moreover, potential interventions targeting these pathogenic mechanisms are summarized, offering valuable insights for further exploration of RIOM/CIOM's complex pathophysiology and the development of more effective interventions.
