The role of radiotherapy for patients with primary tracheal carcinoma: two case reports of tracheal carina squamous cell carcinoma and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 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
Primary tracheal carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor; its optimal treatment strategy is not yet formally proven. Surgery, especially complete surgical excision, is often considered as the first-line treatment, and chemotherapy has been reported ineffective. There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that radiotherapy may offer better local control and improve survival outcomes for cases of incomplete excision, questionable surgical margins, or unresectable lesions. However, the effect, total dose, and fraction dose of radiotherapy remain controversial. We report two cases of primary tracheal squamous cell carcinoma at the tracheal carina: a 74-year-old man with an unresectable tracheal carcinoma at the carina and a 55-year-old woman with a tracheal tumor. Both of them were treated with radical radiotherapy, demonstrating satisfactory local control. Finally, we review the current progress of radiotherapy in primary tracheal carcinoma.
