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

We report 4 cases of hypopharyngeal cancer preoperatively suspected with synchronous lymph node metastases. Pathologic lymph node metastasis was confirmed in three of the four cases. All 4 cases underwent endoscopic laryngopharyngeal surgery (ELPS) combined with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and subsequent lymph node dissection as an optional treatment rather than the standard treatment. Peroral resection for primary site was selected because of the expected decline in quality of life (QoL) after radical surgery. Among 4 patients, one developed local recurrence; however, the other three remained recurrence-free and survived without any additional treatment. Furthermore, the patient who developed local recurrence had a recurrence-free survival for more than 5 years, with additional chemoradiation therapy. No disorders in speech, swallowing, or breathing was observed during the follow-up period. ELPS combined with ESD is generally indicated for laryngopharyngeal cancer without synchronous lymph node metastasis. However, this can be a treatment option for patients may wish to preserve a greater QoL after treatment. In the future, when more data on the results and long-term prognosis of this treatment are accumulated, it may be possible to discuss its validity further.
