Targeting Anterior Commissure Involvement with Hyperfractionated Radiotherapy for T1-T2 Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Glottic Larynx.
Article in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Anterior commissure is involved in about 20% of early-stage glottic squamous cell carcinomas (EGSCCs). Treatment outcomes and prognostic factors for EGSCC with anterior commissure involvement (ACI) were evaluated by focusing on hyperfractionated radiotherapy (74.4 Gy in 62 fractions). One-hundred and fifty-three patients with T1-T2 EGSCC were included in this study. The median total doses for T1a, T1b, and T2 were 66, 74.4, and 74.4 Gy, respectively. Overall, 49 (32%) patients had T1a, 38 (25%) had T1b, and 66 (43%) had T2 disease. The median treatment duration was 46 days. The median follow-up duration was 5.1 years. The 10-year overall and cause-specific survival rates were 72% and 97%, respectively. The 10-year local control rates were 94% for T1a, 88% for T1b, and 81% for T2 disease. Local control rates in patients with ACI were slightly better than those in patients without ACI with T1a and T1b diseases; however, the difference was not significant. The 10-year laryngeal preservation rate was 96%. Six patients experienced grade 3 mucositis, and four patients had grade 3 dermatitis. Hyperfractionated radiotherapy was effective for T1 disease with ACI, but insufficient for T2 disease with ACI. Our treatment strategy resulted in excellent laryngeal preservation.
