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

Small cell carcinoma (SCC) of the larynx is a rare type of neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC), few cases of which have been described in the literature. The prognosis for this type of carcinoma is poor, with a survival time typically not exceeding two years. We describe the case of a 54-year-old male patient with a primary tumor in the right ventricular band and a biopsy compatible with SCC. The patient underwent radiotherapy (RT) and concomitant chemotherapy (QT) and, after a relapse at 17 months, underwent total laryngectomy with bilateral neck dissection. The survival time was 47 months. Further studies are required to elucidate the possible causes of the better prognosis in some cases.
