Trial report in Head & neck, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionEndoscopic surgery of T1a glottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is believed to have advantages compared to radiotherapy (RT), including short duration, cost-effectiveness, repeatability, and RT reserved for second tumors/failures. The equality of tumor control probability after treatments is unresolved.
methodsIn the DAHANCA 27 phase II study, selected Danish patients suspected of T1a glottic SCC between 2012 and 2016 were offered one-step diagnostic and curatively intended transoral laser microsurgery (TLM). The 5-year outcome was compared to a 2003-2012 national cohort of T1a glottic SCC patients treated with accelerated RT (accRT).
resultsThe TLM (n = 94) treatment included cordectomy type I (n = 44), II (n = 38), and III (n = 12). Failure was observed in 10/94 TLM and 36/534 accRT patients, resulting in 1 and 23 laryngectomies, respectively. The 5-year laryngectomy-free disease-specific survival was TLM 97.9% and accRT 94.6%, HR: 0.37 (0.09, 1.54).
conclusionsPrimary TLM for selected T1a glottic SCC patients is an organ preserving treatment with high disease control comparable to accRT.
