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

PET-CT of the nasopharynx depicting not only intensive PET avidity in the right Rouvière lymph node (A: arrows) correlating with MRI findings but also increased FDG avidity at the level of the torus tubarius (B: arrows), on the right more than on the left and along the posterior nasopharyngeal wall. 3D PET image of increased metabolism along the lateral nasopharynx and torus tubarius (C: large arrow points to the right side, arrowhead to the left side; note also the avid Rouvière lymph node on the right side: short arrows). Tubarial gland location is shown in D (original scheme from Valstar, Matthijs, et al. Radiotherapy and Oncology, 154, 292-298: with permission).
