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

Background: In the UK alone, suspected head & neck cancer referrals exceed a quarter-million, with a detected malignancy rate of around 2.6% Methods: A scoping review was conducted per PRISMA-ScR guidelines (PROSPERO 1016067). We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, Emcare, and CINAHL for relevant English-language studies up to April 2025. Data on clinic setup, diagnostic outcomes, and stakeholder satisfaction were synthesized. Results: Five papers were included in the study. The majority ( Conclusion: Remote asynchronous nasoendoscopy clinics can help meet diagnostic targets and reduce consultant workload. Although robust governance is essential for safe implementation, this model remains a promising and acceptable option. Further work will fully ascertain their long-term impact on service delivery and patient outcomes.
