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

Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. Its histomorphology is distinctly reminiscent of the ductal carcinoma of the breast. We reviewed the treatment and outcome of SDCs at a single tertiary care centre. Twenty-five cases of SDC of major salivary gland origin, diagnosed and treated at the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Helsinki University Central Hospital, Helsinki, Finland, during a 14-year period from 1997 to 2011, were reviewed retrospectively. Survival outcome was analyzed for 18 patients with a minimum follow-up of 24 months. There were 16 male (64 %) and 9 female (36 %) patients with a median age of 61 years (range 36-82 years). The majority of the cases occurred in the parotid gland (n = 21, 84 %) followed by the submandibular gland (n = 4, 16 %). The primary treatment consisted of surgical resection in all cases and 17 (68 %) patients also underwent neck dissection. Most of the patients (n = 18, 72 %) were treated with postoperative radiotherapy. Seven patients (28 %) had a disease recurrence within a median follow-up time of 15 months (range 3-27 months). In the group (n = 18) with a minimum follow-up time of 24 months, the 2- and 5-year overall and disease-specific survival rates were 66, 41 % and 75, 55 %, respectively. These results confirm the aggressive nature of SDCs in major salivary glands. Diagnostics and management of these tumours need to be centralized in experienced surgical Head and Neck Oncology Centres, and new treatment strategies should be investigated.
