Efficacy of laser surgery versus radiotherapy for treatment of glottic carcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Lasers in medical science, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Laser surgery and radiotherapy are the two most common ways to treat glottic carcinomas, which is more efficacious and remains controversial. PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library were searched to identify relevant studies of laser surgery versus radiotherapy in patients with glottic carcinomas through April 2017. Sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis were performed to evaluate heterogeneity. Eighteen studies were selected, which included 2480 patients. Patients who had laser surgery had higher rates of laryngeal preservation (OR 3.852; 95% CI 1.922-7.721) and overall survival (OR 1.388; 95% CI 1.063-1.811) versus who had radiotherapy. No significant differences were observed between laser surgery and radiotherapy on local control (OR 1.186; 95% CI 0.759-1.854), recurrence (OR 0.758; 95% CI 0.445-1.289), or disease-specific survival (OR 1.597; 95% CI 0.887-2.876). There were clinical benefits for patients with glottic carcinoma after laser surgery compared with radiotherapy with respect to survival and laryngeal preservation.
