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

The treatment of patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M-HNSCC) requires exceptional interdisciplinary cooperation within the treatment team, as many factors need to be taken into account to come to an adequate treatment decision. Most of these patients need to be treated in a palliative concept, as comorbidities and prior oncologic treatment limit the treatment options. Inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in combination with platinum and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) may be considered as standard. However, survival rates are poor and new therapeutic approaches and substances are therefore tested continuously. At the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in 2014, numerous studies on first- and second-line treatment of R/M-HNSCC were presented. A selection is discussed in this paper, including a report about the combined therapy of cetuximab with established chemotherapies, new results from protocols including small molecules and investigations of mTOR inhibitors.
