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

Perineural invasion (PNI) frequently occurs in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), which correlates with poor survival and induces intractable pain and numbness. There is no effective treatment for PNI or associated pain. To gain a better understanding of PNI at the molecular and cellular level, we produced an orthotopic, syngeneic mouse model of PNI by inoculating mouse oral cancer cells into the infraorbital nerve (ION), a nerve that is susceptible to cancer invasion in patients with HNSCC. Mice with PNI in the ION exhibited both evoked and spontaneous nociception and impaired oral function, mimicking human conditions. PNI resulted in a drastic reduction in the proportion and altered mechanical thresholds in mechanically sensitive trigeminal neurons; axon and myelin abnormalities, as well as phagocytic cells, were observed. The tumor bed is marked by CD4
