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.
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
purposeTo identify a radiological map of laryngeal subsites whose involvement by the tumor could predict patients' functional outcomes after open partial horizontal laryngectomy (OPHL).
methodsThe present retrospective analysis concerned 96 patients with glottic squamous cell carcinoma, who were radiologically staged with contrast-enhanced neck CT scans before undergoing supracricoid or supratracheal laryngectomy. A radiological map of patients' functional risk was developed by considering the distribution of functional outcomes in relation to the laryngeal subsites involved. The functional outcomes considered were: (i) decannulation at discharge; (ii) time to removal of the nasogastric feeding tube (NFT); (iii) postoperative complication rate; and (iv) length of hospital stay.
resultsInvolvement of the anterior supraglottis was related to a longer need for NFT, and a longer hospital stay (p = 0.003, and p = 0.003, respectively). Involvement of the posterior glottis negatively affected the time to decannulation, and the likelihood of postoperative complications (p = 0.000, and p = 0.002, respectively).
conclusionsAnterior glottic small tumors (without significant subglottic and/or supraglottic extension) are related to the best functional outcomes after OPHL, since the suprahyoid epiglottis and both the arytenoids are likely to be spared.
