The epidemiology of laryngeal cancer in a country on the esophageal cancer belt.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveLaryngeal cancer is one of the most common malignant neoplasms of the head and neck and occurs predominantly in males. Squamous cell carcinomas arising in the glottic region are the most common of all laryngeal cancers and more prevalent than the supraglottic ones. But this pattern is reverse in some countries. This study was done to investigate the epidemiologic aspect of this subject in Iran. STUDY
designCross-sectional study SUBJECTS AND
methodsDuring a ten-year period from 1997 to 2007, all patients referred to two tertiary referral hospitals with a diagnosis of laryngeal cancer were enrolled in this study.
resultsLaryngeal cancer was diagnosed in a total of 453 patients and confirmed histologically. The average patient age was 59.92 years. Men outnumbered women (9.5:1). Four hundred patients (88.5%) were tobacco smokers. The primary location of the tumor was supraglottic in 221 (49%) cases, followed by glottic in 163 (36.2%), transglottic (the tumor involved all regions of the larynx and the origin was unspecified) in 60 (13.3%), and subglottic in 7 (1.6%).
conclusionIn our series, although we excluded transglottic tumors, the supraglottic tumor was dominant and the ratio of supraglottic to glottic tumors was 1.36. This is compatible with results from countries with a reverse ratio.
