Article in Galen medical journal, 2024. 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
backgroundThis study aimed to assess the clinical and histopathological factors associated with primary oral cancer in Shiraz, southwest Iran. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective cross-sectional observational study evaluated 100 patients with primary oral cancers at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences between January 2014 and December 2020. Data were collected from patient records, including age, sex, occupation, family history, spice use, smoking history, alcohol consumption, underlying diseases, lesion location, pathology grade, TNM stage, perineural invasion, time of diagnosis, number of surgeries, and history of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
resultsThe average age of patients was 58.5±9.2 years (range 40-70 years), with 67% being men. Smoking, alcoholism, systemic diseases, spice use, and family history were present in 46%, 32%, 32%, 11%, and 11% of patients, respectively. Lymph node involvement was observed mostly in zone I (99%). The mandible was the most commonly affected site (46%), followed by the tongue (39%), buccal mucosa (23%), maxilla (20%), oral floor (18%), lower lip (7%), and upper lip (1%). Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounted for 97% of cases, with other primary oral malignancies comprising the remaining 3%. Among the neoplasms, 55% were well-differentiated, while 45% were moderately differentiated.
conclusionThis study found that primary oral malignancies in Shiraz, Iran were predominantly found in men, with smoking and systemic diseases being major risk factors, and identified the mandible and tongue as the most common sites, with SCC being the most prevalent pathology, often well-differentiated.
