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

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is not only one of the deadliest malignant tumors but also significantly impacts patient quality of life because of its proximity to numerous critical organs. Radiotherapy is commonly used to treat HNC due to its effectiveness in targeting cancer cells while sparing adjacent organs. However, the emergence of radioresistance severely limits the efficacy of radiotherapy, frequently leading to poor prognosis and treatment failure. Consequently, an enhanced understanding of the underlying mechanisms of radioresistance could facilitate the development of novel treatment strategies aimed at reducing recurrence rates and improving survival outcomes. In this review, we summarize the primary mechanisms implicated in radioresistance in HNC from both cancer cell-intrinsic and tumor microenvironment perspectives. Furthermore, we discuss currently available radiation-sensitizing approaches to overcome radioresistance in HNC.
