Nine Metachronous Cancers Primarily Involving the Head and Neck: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
A 62-year-old man presented with multiple malignant tumors, predominantly involving the head and neck region, including the esophagus, gum, oropharynx, larynx, lungs, and stomach. Histopathological analysis revealed that while the majority of the tumors were squamous cell carcinomas, other types including spindle cell carcinoma, mucoepidermoid carcinoma, and adenocarcinoma were also identified. Oropharyngeal cancer and oral cancer developed within a previously irradiated field from treatment 10 years prior. All subsequent primary tumors were detected at early stages through extensive multimodal surveillance, allowing for minimally invasive curative resections and contributing to long-term survival. This case underscores the necessity of lifelong, continuous monitoring for survivors of multiple primary cancers, as new malignancies can emerge long after initial treatments.
