Sex Differences in Head and Neck Carcinoma - A Retrospective Study on 1115 Head and Neck Carcinoma Patients in Austria.

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
ImportanceIn different types of carcinoma, sex has a strong impact on risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. Previous studies have reported that female patients with head and neck carcinoma (HNC) have better survival.ObjectiveThis study aimed to analyze sex differences in tumor regression and survival, as well as host- and disease-related factors.DesignA retrospective cohort study.SettingTertiary Care, University Hospital.Participants1115 patients registered in the Head and Neck Tumor Registry of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Medical University of Innsbruck were included.Main Outcome MeasuresSeveral host- and disease-related factors were analyzed to determine possible sex differences.ResultsThis study included 1115 patients with HNC, of whom 78.6% (n = 876) were men and 21.4% (n = 239) were women. There were no differences in tumor regression or incident cases per year in our department between male and female patients with HNC. Statistically significant sex differences were found for tumor site (
