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

The aim of this prospective, observational study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a simple endoscopic method for scoring swallowing function after treatment of advanced head and neck cancer patients. A prospective, observational study was conducted involving 60 patients who had undergone surgery or chemoradiation for advanced head and neck cancer. Endoscopic score of swallowing function, penetration aspiration scale (PAS) score measured by videofluorography, and functional oral intake scale (FOIS) score were recorded, and their correlations were examined. There was a positive correlation between endoscopic and PAS scores. Patients with endoscopic scores of 4 points or more had significantly higher PAS scores and lower FOIS scores than those with scores of 3 points or less. These positive correlations were found only in patients who underwent surgery, and not those who received chemoradiation. This study showed the effectiveness of the simple endoscopic method for scoring swallowing function in patients after surgery for advanced head and neck cancers.
