Advances in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Staging: from the 7th to the 9th Edition of the TNM System and Future Outlook.
Review in Current oncology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
purpose of reviewNasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), characterized by its aggressive nature and sensitivity to radiation, demands accurate staging for optimal clinical outcomes. The purpose of this review was to provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of the TNM staging system for NPC based on recent and previously published studies, with particular emphasis on the transition from the 7th to the 9th edition. RECENT
findingsThe 9th edition introduces critical changes, particularly in the N and M classifications, to enhance prognostic accuracy. Our analysis also incorporates the burgeoning roles of biomarkers, especially Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-DNA, and the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in refining NPC staging. Each iteration of the TNM staging system for NPC has successfully enhanced the prognostic precision of NPC, with notable advancements from the 7th to the 9th edition. We also delves into the incorporation of biomarkers, such as EBV-DNA, and the potential of AI in refining staging accuracy. These innovations are anticipated to offer personalized prognoses and inform tailored treatment strategies for NPC patients in the future.
