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

objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical response of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in advanced sinonasal cancer (SNC), and to investigate the clinicopathological factors influencing treatment outcomes.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 110 patients with advanced SNC admitted between 2016 and 2020. After balancing baseline characteristics through propensity score matching, 96 patients were included in the analysis and divided into an observation group (OG, n=48) and a control group (CG, n=48). OG received IMRT combined with docetaxel and cisplatin chemotherapy, while CG received IMRT alone. Clinical data, molecular biomarker expression levels, and remedy outcomes were compared. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to identify factors influencing patients' overall survival (OS).

resultsNo significant differences existed in baseline characteristics between groups (all

conclusionIMRT combined with docetaxel and cisplatin chemotherapy significantly improves the prognosis of advanced SNC. Treatment modality, patient age, tumor differentiation, lymph node status, and molecular markers are all independent prognostic factors, indicating the potential for individualized treatment strategies under comprehensive assessment.
