First Case of Lateral Oropharyngectomy Performed Using the Vitom Eagle: A Novel Exoscopic System for Transoral Surgery.
Article in Head & neck, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe Vitom Eagle is a novel exoscopic system, specifically designed for transoral surgery (e.g., lateral oropharyngectomy). No prior study has compared it to existing surgical systems.
methodsThis case report examines a patient affected by HPV-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma treated with transoral lateral oropharyngectomy using the Vitom Eagle system, detailing the surgical setup, advantages, and functional and surgical outcomes.
resultsThe procedure achieved complete tumor resection with negative margins. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with no complications, and functional outcomes were preserved.
conclusionsThe Vitom Eagle offers significant advantages in visualization, overhead costs, and ergonomics, making it a valuable alternative tool for transoral surgeries.
