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

We investigated whether 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake parameters using positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography predicts several survival outcomes, including lung metastasis-free survival, in patients with laryngeal or pharyngeal cancer who underwent salvage surgery. The maximum standardized uptake value, metabolic tumor volume, and total lesion glycolysis were calculated as 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake parameters in 51 patients with laryngeal or pharyngeal cancer before salvage surgery. In univariate analysis, the maximum standardized uptake value ≥ 22.8, metabolic tumor volume ≥ 2.4, and total lesion glycolysis ≥ 5.4 were significantly correlated with shorter overall survival. In multivariate analysis with adjustment for clinical stage, patients with total lesion glycolysis ≥ 5.4 exhibited significantly shorter overall survival. Furthermore, total lesion glycolysis ≥ 5.4 was significantly correlated with shorter disease-specific survival, distant metastasis-free survival, and lung metastasis-free survival in univariate analysis. In conclusion, total lesion glycolysis predicts the survival outcomes including lung metastasis in patients with laryngeal or pharyngeal cancer who underwent salvage surgery.
