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

purpose of reviewNasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant tumor characterized by a distinct geographical distribution. Effective surveillance is crucial for the early detection of recurrence or metastasis and for improving patient prognosis.This review systematically examines current NPC follow-up protocols and recent developments to inform individualized precision surveillance. RECENT

findingsThis review focuses on two main aspects. 1) We compare and analyze current major NPC follow-up guidelines, with key discussions covering follow-up frequency, imaging modalities (including magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and positron emission tomography [PET]), plasma Epstein-Barr virus DNA (EBV-DNA) monitoring, and functional assessments. 2)We elaborate on the application prospects and research progress of genomics, radiomics, and artificial intelligence in NPC surveillance. Studies suggest that risk-stratified, individualized follow-up strategies, such as those based on conditional survival models, can enhance the cost-effectiveness of surveillance. Additionally, emerging technologies, including radiomics and artificial intelligence, show promise for improving recurrence risk assessment, prognostic stratification, and individualized surveillance in NPC. Concurrently, advances in genomics and radiomics offer new opportunities for predicting complications and guiding treatment adjustments. Future efforts should focus on integrating multidisciplinary expertise to develop dynamic monitoring systems that enable precise follow-up and ultimately improve patient survival outcomes.
