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

Introduction: Voice production can be affected in early laryngeal cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between Voice Handicap Index (VHI) and Voice-Related Quality of Life (V-RQOL) among patients with early laryngeal cancer. Methods: Twenty-seven patients with early laryngeal cancer (T1, T2) and a mean age of 59.35 ± 7.77 years who were visited in Amir-Alam hospital, took part in this study. After a diagnosis of early laryngeal cancer by a laryngologist, the patients filled out the Persian versions of the VHI and V-RQOL questionnaires. Results: The results showed the mean total score of VHI and V-RQOL were 65.94 ± 14.21 and 48.64 ± 9.75% in patients with early laryngeal cancer, respectively. These results indicated the total and subscales' scores of VHI increased while the scores of VRQOL decreased. The Pearson correlation between total scores of the VHI and V-RQOL was - 90. Also, there was a negative significant correlation between total and subscales' scores of VH and VRQOL (r Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated decreased quality of life related to voice in patients with laryngeal cancer who were in the early stages of tumor growth (T1, T2). Regarding the high negative significant correlation between results of VHI and V-RQOL in patients with early laryngeal cancer, both questionnaires can be used instead of each other for saving time in voice clinics.
