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

Unfavorable T2 glottic squamous cell carcinoma with impaired vocal cord mobility and/or bulky disease has been a real treatment challenge with high local failure rates. The purpose of this study is to compare the oncological outcome of unfavorable T2 glottic carcinoma in patients treated with radical radiotherapy versus concurrent chemoradiation. This study is a prospective, open label, randomized trial, in which all patients with unfavorable T2 glottic cancer were treated with either single modality radiotherapy using hypofractionation protocol 65.25 Gy (arm A) or concurrent chemoradiation (arm B) between 2019 and 2023. The primary end points were local control and local progression free survival (PFS). Sixty-two patients were recruited in the study. Local control was significantly higher in concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) group compared to radiotherapy (RT) group. The 3-year local progression free survival rates were significantly higher in CCRT arm (85.5%) compared to RT arm (57.8%) (
