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

objectiveHuman papillomavirus (HPV), particularly HPV16, is a causative agent for 25% of head and neck squamous cell cancer, including laryngeal squamous cell cancer (LSCC). HPV-positive (HPV+ve) patients, particularly those with oropharyngeal SCC, have improved prognosis. For LSCC patients, this remains to be established. The goal was to determine stage and survival outcomes in LSCC in the context of HPV infection. STUDY

designHistorical cohort study.

settingPrimary care academic health system. SUBJECTS AND

methodsIn 79 patients with primary LSCC, HPV was determined using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. χ(2) or Fisher exact test was used to test the association of HPV+ve with 21 risk factors including race, stage, gender, age, smoking, alcohol, treatment, and health insurance. Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests were used to study the association of HPV and LSCC survival outcome.

resultsHPV16 was detected in 27% of LSCC patients. Caucasian American (CA) patients had higher HPV prevalence (33%) than did African American (AA) LSCC patients (16%; P = .058). HPV was significantly associated with gender (P = .016) and insurance type (P = .001). There were no differences in survival between HPV+ve and HPV-negative (HPV-ve) patients. There was no association with HPV and other risk factors including stage (early vs late).

conclusionWe found a high prevalence of HPV in men and a lower prevalence of HPV infection in AA compared with CA. Despite the strikingly better survival of patients with HPV+ve oropharyngeal tumors, even when adjusted for smoking, this correlation does not seem to hold true in the larynx. Larger multiethnic LSCC cohorts are needed to more clearly delineate HPV-related survival across ethnicities.
