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

backgroundIn the world, there are approximately 160,000 cases of laryngeal cancer newly diagnosed every year and 95% of the cases are squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). We conduct this study to investigate the influencing factors in LSCC.

methodWe used cohort of LSCC cases form the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (1973-2014) to investigate the relationship between gender and survival. We conducted 1:1 propensity matching to mimic randomized controlled trials. Using the matched group, we investigate the effect of gender on cancer-specific survival (CSS) and overall survival (OS).

resultIn total, 47881 patients were brought into an unmatched cohort and 17985 cases were brought into a matched cohort. Using the matched group, we conducted a survival analysis. The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year CSS and OS rates were better in female patients and the subgroup analysis showed the same trend. Cox regression analysis showed gender was an independent prognostic indicator for LSCC patients.

conclusionGender is an independent prognostic indicator for LSCC patients. Male patients are a high-risk population.
