Mental health after laryngectomy and partial laryngectomy: a comparative study.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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
Patients treated for laryngeal cancer are confronted daily with the effects of the operation. The choice of treatment method can have a significant impact on psychosocial adjustment. Three hundred and six out-patients who underwent surgical treatment for laryngeal cancer within the last two decades were interviewed in their own homes using the structured clinical interview for DSM-IV (SCID).Psychiatric disorders were diagnosed among 17.3% of the partial laryngectomy patients (PL) and 22.2% of the patients with total laryngectomy (LE). In comparing four variables (age, time elapsed since diagnosis, gender and subjective speech intelligibility), subjective speech intelligibility and age were the variables with a unique, significant effect on the frequency of psychiatric disorders, albeit only in the case of PL patients. The need for psychosocial rehabilitation for patients with partial laryngectomy tends to be underestimated. It is concluded that screening for psychological variables and subjective speech intelligibility can be beneficial for the identification of out-patients lacking appropriate treatment.
