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

purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of preoperative tracheotomy on oncologic outcomes of advanced stage glottic carcinoma patients, and to explore the potential reason.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 413 consecutive advanced stage glottic carcinoma patients from January 2005 to December 2010. The correlation of preoperative tracheotomy and potential impacting factor of tumor size involving tumor diameter and tumor area with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) was fully assessed.

resultsOur cohort consisted of 302 (73.1%) patients with T3 and 111 (26.9%) patients with T4, and 98 (23.7%) patients received preoperative tracheotomy. The OS and DFS rates of patients receiving preoperative tracheotomy were worse than those without (5-year OS: 49.3% versus 69.8%; 5-year DFS: 45.3% versus 61.0%). The mean tumor diameter and tumor area of patients with preoperative tracheotomy were greater than those without (3.3 cm versus 2.4 cm, 8.9 cm

conclusionThis study indicates that tumor size is correlated with preoperative tracheotomy, and tracheotomy intervention may be reflection from effect of great tumor size that is a true adverse factor influencing oncologic outcomes of advanced stage glottic carcinoma patients.
