Cost-consequence analysis of surgical and clinical treatment modalities of laryngeal cancer.
Article in Clinics (Sao Paulo, Brazil), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundLaryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LSCC) may be treated clinically or surgically as a therapeutic option with a curative intention. The aim of this study is to compare direct medical costs and overall survival associated with the treatment of LSCC.
methodsRetrospective cost-consequence analysis, from the perspective of a Brazilian public hospital that included patients with LSCC, from 2014 to 2017. Unit costs were estimated using a macro-costing approach. The Propensity Score Matching method was used. Survival analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method.
resultsThe therapeutic modalities were similar in terms of total costs: USD 32,259.65 for the clinical group and USD 34,385.87 for the surgical group (p = 0.215). Patients in the surgical group showed better overall survival than the clinical group (HR 0.53; p = 0.047).
conclusionBoth therapeutic modalities for the treatment of LSCC showed similar total costs. Nevertheless, overall survival was better in the surgical group.
