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

introductionThis study aimed to systematically review the application of narrow band imaging (NBI) in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of head and neck cancer.

methodsThrough literature review and generalization of our clinical experiences, this review thoroughly described the features, mechanisms, advantages, drawbacks, and prospects of NBI in the treatment of head and neck cancer.

resultsNBI is an emerging endoscopic technology that emits an ambient light at wavelengths of 415 nm (blue) and 540 nm (green) to clearly visualize the details on the mucosal surface. It presents potent efficiencies in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative surveillance and diagnosis of head and neck cancer.

conclusionNBI is a front-edge imaging technology that allows early screening, precise treatment, and postoperative monitoring of head and neck cancer.
