Evaluation of neck metastases in T1N0 lip cancers.

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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the histopathological features and mid-term follow-up outcomes of patients with T1N0 lip squamous cell carcinoma who underwent or did not undergo neck dissection.
methodsA total of 66 patients who underwent surgical treatment for T1N0 lip cancer were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups: those who did not undergo neck dissection (group 1, n = 31) and those who did (group 2, n = 35). The specific characteristics of these two groups were examined histopathologically, and the patients' postoperative follow-up was evaluated in terms of local recurrence and/or delayed cervical metastases.
resultsGroup 1 included 16 female and 15 male patients, with a mean age of 69.8 ± 12 years. The mean tumor diameter was 1 ± 0.34 cm. During the follow-up period, no local recurrence was observed in this group; however, one patient developed cervical metastasis 13 months postoperatively. Group 2 consisted of 20 female and 15 male patients, with a mean age of 70.4 ± 10.7 years. The mean tumor diameter was 1.7 ± 0.33 cm. No local recurrence or metastatic lymph nodes were detected in any patient in this group. The mean follow-up duration was 39.9 ± 18.1 months for group 1 and 44.4 ± 18.6 months for group 2.
conclusionIn early-stage T1 lip cancers without clinically detectable cervical metastasis (N0) at diagnosis, treatment may be planned as excision of the primary tumor alone, without performing neck dissection.
