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

objectiveTo analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of patients with squamous cell carcinoma localized to different supraglottic subregions.

methodsClinicopathologic data were reviewed retrospectively for 111 patients with supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma who were diagnosed between January 1, 1995 and December 31, 2005 and were initially treated with surgery. DNA from human papillomavirus (HPV) 16 and (or /and) HPV 18 were detected in all the 111 supraglottic carcinoma specimens using in situ hybridization. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier analysis, factors were compared using log-rank test, and prognostic factors were determined using Cox proportional hazards model. The relationship between subregions and clinicopathologic factors was analyzed using Chi-square tests.

resultsHPV prevalence differed between patients with aryepiglottic fold carcinoma and ventricle carcinoma (P < .05). The local-regional control rates, overall survival rates or cancer specific survival rates were significantly different between different subregions. Univariate analysis indicated that pTNM classification, pN spread, and subregion were associated with prognosis (P < .05). Multivariate analysis indicated that pTNM classification and subregion were associated with supraglottic carcinoma prognosis. The survival rate was better for patients with carcinoma of the epiglottis or ventricular bands compared to those with carcinoma in the aryepiglottic fold or ventricle (P = .012).

conclusionsSubregion may be a new prognostic factor for supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma. Different supraglottic carcinoma subregions have distinct clinical features such as HPV expression, lymph node metastasis rate, local-regional control and prognosis. Therefore, it is necessary to subdivide supraglottic squamous cell carcinomas into several subregion groups to individualize therapy.
