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

We report the case of a 73-year-old man with a 60-pack-year smoking history. He was diagnosed with a parotid malignancy in 2003 and underwent surgical resection. In 2008, definitive radiotherapy was administered due to tumor recurrence. In 2024-16 years after radiotherapy-severe stenosis of the carotid artery on the irradiated (right) side was detected, accompanied by severe coronary artery stenosis and calcification. Following multidisciplinary evaluation and percutaneous coronary intervention, his symptoms improved significantly, and he was discharged for regular outpatient follow-up.
