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

ImportanceIntraoperative narrow-band imaging (NBI) has been used to improve superficial (mucosal) resection margin clearance in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, no study has been conducted in a randomized controlled trial comparing OSCC resection using NBI and standard white light (WL).ObjectiveTo compare the rate of pathological margin clearance between NBI-guided and WL-guided resection in OSCC patients.DesignParallel-design, single-center, randomized controlled trial.SettingTertiary care center, Department of Otolaryngology.ParticipantsOne hundred and four OSCC patients undergoing surgical resection were included in the study.InterventionPatients were randomly assigned to have either NBI-guided (n = 52) or WL-guided (n = 52) resection.Main Outcome MeasuresFinal pathological margin status and clinical outcomes, including type of defect reconstruction and functional outcomes (persisting tracheostomy and tube feeding), were compared between the 2 groups.ResultsA significantly higher rate of clear superficial margin was achieved in patients in the NBI group than in the WL group (96.2% and 80.8%, respectively,
