Severe and Long-Term Side Effects of Radiotherapy for Nasopharyngeal Cancer: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Radiotherapy is a crucial treatment modality for head and neck cancers, demonstrating significant efficacy in tumor control. However, its application can also lead to challenging complications, particularly due to late effects on healthy tissues. These complications arise from cellular damage, scar fibrosis development, and reduced local blood flow caused by radiation-induced vascular changes. Our patient's experience highlights the diverse range of complications, including trismus, hyposalivation, and visual impairments, commonly associated with radiotherapy in this context. Thus, while radiotherapy is indispensable in cancer management, proactive measures are essential to mitigate its adverse effects and optimize patient outcomes. This case aims to illustrate the possible severe late effects of radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal cancer, emphasizing the need for prolonged surveillance and multidisciplinary management strategies to minimize functional sequelae and improve quality of life in long-term survivors.
