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

In the last decade, the incidence and mortality associated with laryngeal malignancies has experienced an unfavorable evolution in Romania, in terms of this pathology the country that has become the leader, among the European Union (EU)-27 countries. The aim of the present retrospective study was to analyze the epidemiological data regarding laryngeal cancer and histopathological (HP) particularities in patients diagnosed in Western Romania. Within three years and 10 months (during October 2016-July 2020) in Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Clinic of Timişoara Municipal Emergency Clinical Hospital, 194 patients with laryngeal neoplasms (LN) were diagnosed. Most of the patients were male (93.8%), from Timiş County, mainly and the neighboring Counties of Caraş-Severin, Hunedoara, Mehedinţi and Arad. Patient's average age (both sexes) was 62.6 years, with a range from 38 to 84 years and the highest percentages in the 60+ age group (48%). Regarding smoker status, the main cause of the development of the LN, 93.9% of patients were active ones. Regarding localization [International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision (ICD-11)], about 69% were malignant neoplasm of glottis (C32.0), followed by supraglottis (C32.1), larynx-unspecified (C32.9), and subglottis (C32.2). From the HP point of view, several types of tumors were identified, most of which were non-keratinized and keratinized squamous cell carcinomas (about 90%). In addition, there were identified types of verrucous carcinoma, acantholytic carcinoma, squamous papilloma, a possible pleomorphic sarcoma, and pyogenic granuloma. The data presented in this study highlight the growing incidence of LN, which mainly affect men, at an increasingly young age. It is imperative to involve specialists from nutrition, general medicine, ENT, dentistry to start awareness programs and to develop prevention protocols.
