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

Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) became a valuable new head and neck surgery approach from the past decade since its approval. TORS was initially conceived for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC); now, the indications are gradually extrapolated into other subsites. There have been numerous studies comparing the outcomes following surgical and non-surgical treatment, especially for oropharyngeal cancers. TORS for laryngeal cancers is in its infancy, and only a few reports are describing it. Many report suggestive of better functional outcomes following TORS, but level 1 evidence is still lacking. With the further development of novel, flexible, miniaturized robots, it is highly likely to expand TORS indications further. This article provides an overview of TORS in head and neck cancers.
