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

backgroundThe incidence of soft tissue tumors of the head and neck region is low: 300 and 3 in 100,000 for benign and malignant tumors, respectively. However, sarcomas particularly show a wide variety of different histological subtypes. This article provides an overview of the soft tissue tumors of the head and neck region treated in the authors' institution. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis is a retrospective study including 106 patients treated between 2002 and 2010 due to a soft tissue tumor. Tumor- and patient-specific data were collected (benign/malignant tumor, location, TNM classification, therapy, R classification, grade).

resultsIn total, 77 benign tumors, 5 of intermediate benign/malignant nature and 24 sarcomas (with 7 different subtypes) were identified. Whereas the benign and intermediate tumors were treated by surgical removal, in 21 of the 24 sarcomas, treatment comprised a multimodal therapy regimen including radio- and/or chemotherapy.

conclusionWhereas benign tumors can be successfully treated by surgical resection, there is no uniform therapy regimen for sarcomas due to the variety of different histological subtypes. Only case-specific interdisciplinary disease management can offer good perspectives for therapeutic success.
