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

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a common malignant disease in otorhinolaryngology; however, its pathogenesis remains to be fully elucidated. Currently, the treatment for HNC mainly comprises surgery assisted by other methods, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. After surgical treatment, the laryngeal function, and swallowing and breathing abilities of patients can be affected to a certain extent, and the loss of vocal ability can cause daily communication obstacles and affect the physical and mental health of patients. HNC recurrence makes retreatment challenging. Ferroptosis is a type of iron‑dependent regulated cell death caused by plasma membrane rupture and lipid peroxidation, and its occurrence is related to HNC. The present review aimed to describe the organelles that influence ferroptosis, the factors that activate and inhibit ferroptosis, and the role of ferroptosis in the pathogenesis, treatment and prognosis of HNC.
