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

One factor that enhances the survival of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is improved local control. Many prognostic factors (PF) influence a patient's prognosis, one of which is the correct histopathological excision margins. Standard histopathological analysis does not allow for the precise determination of the locations of individual hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) slides, which is clinically very important. In extensive tumors, the ability to precisely identify the sites with the narrowest microscopic excision is essential for accurately interpreting postoperative results and making proper clinical decisions. Therefore, a protocol has been developed to precisely localize individual H&E-stained tissue slides on virtual three-dimensional (3D) OSCC images. This approach provides a virtual map of the entire excised tumor, allowing accurate identification of areas with the narrowest histopathological margins (HM). As a result, if reoperation is necessary, it is possible to precisely determine where to widen the OSCC excision or plan adjuvant radiotherapy with greater accuracy. The proposed pilot study is based on the virtual three-dimensional OSCC model of the floor of the mouth cancer. Using 3D scanning technology, a user-friendly protocol has been created.
