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

objectivesTo evaluate the prognostic accuracy and clinical applicability of the ninth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer/Union for International Cancer Control (AJCC/UICC) tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system for non-metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in the era of [ MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective study included 301 patients with NPC treated by intensity-modulated radiotherapy at a tertiary academic cancer center from January 1, 2003, to February 28, 2023. The comparison between the ninth edition of the AJCC/UICC TNM (TNM-9) and the eighth edition of the AJCC/UICC TNM (TNM-8) staging systems was performed. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS).

conclusionThe TNM-9 staging system did not exhibit strong overall discrimination between the stage-group classifications for OS of non-metastatic NPC in the [ KEY POINTS: Question Does the newly launched TNM-9 staging system (January 2025) remain valid for non-metastatic NPC in the era of [
