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

Intraoperative pathology plays a central role during surgical interventions where precise margin assessment and evaluation of tumor dignity are critical for balancing functional preservation and oncological safety. In otorhinolaryngology, the method is used particularly in squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx. The diagnostic accuracy is generally high for SCC but varies depending on the anatomical site and is particularly limited by pretreatment processes, such as radiotherapy or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. For non-SCC entities, such as salivary gland tumors or lymphomas, the diagnostic value of intraoperative pathology is considerably more limited. New technologies such as stimulated Raman histology and rapid immunohistochemistry could accelerate and further refine intraoperative diagnostics in the head and neck region in the future.
