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

backgroundDysphagia, along with dysphonia and dyspnea, is undoubtedly one of the major problems in the treatment of head and neck tumors. However, impairment of the ability to swallow has many different aspects.

objectiveThis article aims to shed light on the interactions and interdependencies between dysphagia and psychological stress and psychiatric comorbidities. This should provide the basis for improved treatment coordination. MATERIALS AND

methodsA literature search was carried out in the PubMed database using the search terms "dysphagia AND hnc/hnscc AND psychiatric," "dysphagia AND hnc/hnscc AND psychologic," and "dysphagia AND hnc/hnscc AND stress." In addition, the authors were able to draw on their many years of experience with the treatment of patients with dysphagia on the background of head and neck tumors.

resultsPsychological stress and psychiatric comorbidities play a significant role in the treatment of dysphagia in patients with head and neck tumors, which makes an early examination and, if necessary, psycho-oncological intervention useful.

conclusionIn our view, multidisciplinary patient care is recommended, e.g., as part of an oncology ward round with medical staff from the fields of otorhinolaryngology or oral and maxillofacial surgery, phoniatrics, and pediatric audiology as well as professionals from the fields of nursing, speech therapy, nutritional counseling, psycho-oncology, and social services.
