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

objectivesShoulder dysfunction syndrome is common in patients with oral cancer after neck dissection. Existing rehabilitation programs are mostly based on fixed stage-specific exercises and lack dynamic adjustment mechanisms according to patients' real-time conditions. This study aims to investigate the effects of a structured rehabilitation training program on shoulder dysfunction syndrome in patients after neck dissection for oral cancer and to provide evidence for the development of precise rehabilitation strategies in clinical practice.

methodsA total of 98 patients who underwent oral cancer surgery with neck dissection at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Center of Stomatology, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, between June 2023 and June 2024 were enrolled and randomly assigned to either a structured rehabilitation group or a conventional rehabilitation group. The structured rehabilitation group included 56 patients and received a stage-based rehabilitation program guided by structured assessments, whereas the conventional rehabilitation group included 42 patients and received standard rehabilitation training. The Constant-Murley Score (CMS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) were used to evaluate patients at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively. Differences in scores between the 2 groups were compared.

resultsCompared with the conventional rehabilitation group, patients in the structured rehabilitation group showed significantly better CMS at 3 and 6 months after surgery (

conclusionsA rehabilitation training program based on structured assessment can significantly improve shoulder joint function, effectively alleviate shoulder dysfunction syndrome, and reduce pain in patients with oral cancer after neck dissection.
