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

introductionThere is a lack of comprehensive and uniform data on head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs), and research is challenging due to its rarity and the involvement of multiple medical specialties. To improve current research data collection, we initiated the Head and Neck Paraganglioma Registry (HNPGL Registry). The aim of the HNPGL Registry is to a) collect extensive data on all HNPGL patients through a predefined protocol, b) give insight in the long term outcomes using patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), c) create uniformity in the diagnostic and clinical management of these conditions, and thereby d) help provide content for future (randomized) research. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The HNPGL Registry is designed as a prospective longitudinal observational registry for data collection on HNPGL patients and carriers of (likely) pathogenic variants causative of HNPGLs. All patients, regardless of the received treatment modality, can be included in the registry after informed consent is obtained. All relevant data regarding the initial presentation, diagnostics, treatment, and follow-up will be collected prospectively in an electronic case report form. In addition a survey containing the EuroQol 5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L), European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30), Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS), Short QUestionnaire to Assess Health-enhancing physical activity (SQUASH), Cancer Worry Scale (CWS) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) will be sent periodically. The registry protocol was approved by the Medical Ethical Review Board of the University Medical Center Utrecht.

conclusionThe HNPGL Registry data will be used to further establish the optimal management for HNPGL patients and lay the foundation for guideline recommendations and the outline of future research.
