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

Salvage surgery after failed organ preservation treatment offers challenges for both the patient and the surgeon. The outcome is often uncertain and even today, 5-year overall survival does not exceed 50 per cent. The chemoradiotherapy induced toxicity asks for meticulous discussion and planning in a multidisciplinary manner in a changing environment of increasing incidence of human papillomavirus induced oropharyngeal tumours, evolving surgical techniques and patient participation. Herein, we discuss the latest literature on salvage surgery and the need for identifying the proper prognosticators to ensure for an optimal treatment plan in potentially salvageable patients.
