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

Background: The presence of cervical lymph node metastasis stands as a key element for predicting the prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) because it affects both management decisions and survival durations. Materials and Methods: This study evaluated 80 OSCC cases that received treatment at a tertiary care facility during the period from 2020 to 2024 by means of retrospective analysis. The study obtained data about the patient characteristics together with tumor site, size and histological grade, depth of invasion (DOI), perineural invasion (PNI) and lymphovascular invasion (LVI), and clinical nodal status. Surgical neck dissections occurred in every case, and the histopathological analyses received comparison with the clinical assessments. SPSS version 26.0 performed the statistical analysis through which results with Results: The tongue was the most affected site with 42.5% of cases, while buccal mucosa followed closely with 31.2% of patients. The histopathological analysis demonstrated that cervical lymph node metastasis existed in 38 patients (47.5%) among the study group. The evaluation revealed significant positive trends between deep invasion beyond 5 mm ( Conclusion: Multiple pathological features including deep invasion level and the presence of perineural invasion and lymphovascular invasion prove highly associated with cervical lymph node metastasis in patients with OSCC.
