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

HPV-positive head and neck carcinoma is significantly different than tobacco- and alcohol-induced cancer. Between 30% and 50% of oropharyngeal cancers are associated with human papillomavirus (HPV). Studies still show an increasing incidence. HPV-positive head and neck cancer patients have a better prognosis due to a better response to therapy. Especially patients with gene overexpression of immunological proteins in the antigen presentation are suggested to benefit from radiotherapy. A current retrospective study shows better outcomes for patients treated with radiotherapy in combination with biological targets compared to radiochemotherapy.
