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

Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is considered the standard of care for non-keratinizing nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NK-NPC) worldwide, with improved overall survival, local recurrence-free survival and distant metastasis-free survival rates compared with radiotherapy alone. However, CRT is associated with late toxicities that can diminish a patient's quality of life and increase morbidity and mortality rates. Following the geographical distribution of NK-NPC, research has predominantly been performed on the endemic Asian population of patients. To extrapolate these results, more investigations in non-Asian populations are needed. The present study aimed to analyze the occurrence and severity of late toxicities following CRT strictly in patients with non-endemic NK-NPC. The clinical retrospective study included 36 patients >18 years of age with pathohistologically confirmed NK-NPC who were treated in the Institute of Oncology and Radiology of Serbia (Begrade, Serbia) with CRT during a 5-year period (January 2015 to December 2020). After completing combined treatment with a mean tumor dose of 68.64Gy and a median of 4 cycles of weekly cisplatin (40 mg/m
