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

backgroundThe number of patients suffering from human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal cancer has increased in recent decades. To date, the role of medical therapy in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck region has only been established in the refractory or metastatic setting (r/m HNSCC).

objectiveWhat are the current treatment options for patients with r/m HNSCC or r/m oropharyngeal cancer? MATERIALS AND

methodsA literature search was conducted on systemic treatment of oropharyngeal cancer and r/m HNSCC.

resultsThere is currently no standard treatment for patients with oropharyngeal cancer in refractory or metastatic stages. Since 2017, immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors has become increasingly important in the treatment of r/m HNSCC patients. First-line therapy was recently adapted based on the results of the KEYNOTE-48 (KN048) study. For selected patients with r/m HNSCC, there now exists a chemotherapy-free treatment option. Use of immunotherapy also in earlier stages of HNSCC can be expected in the near future.

conclusionMedical therapy of r/m HNSCC patients is in a period of great change. Treatment is increasingly based on combination therapy with checkpoint inhibitors.
