Evaluating the Quality of Life in Advanced Laryngeal and Oral Cancer Undergoing Extensive Surgeries.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Advanced laryngeal and oral cancers significantly affect the patients' quality of life (QoL) due to the functional and psychosocial implications of the disease and its treatment. Surgical interventions, particularly extensive resections and reconstructions, are critical for disease control but may further impact QoL. This study aims to evaluate the QoL in patients undergoing extensive surgeries for advanced laryngeal and oral cancers. Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted, including 100 patients with advanced laryngeal and oral cancers undergoing extensive surgeries at a tertiary care hospital. QoL was assessed preoperatively and at three and six months postoperatively using the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-H and N35 questionnaires. Variables, such as functional scales, symptom scales, and global health status, were analyzed. Arbitrary values for QoL scores ranged from 0 (worst) to 100 (best). Data were analyzed using paired t-tests and repeated-measures ANOVA to evaluate changes over time. Results: The mean global health status score improved from 45 (±10) preoperatively to 60 (±12) at six months postoperatively ( Conclusion: Extensive surgeries for advanced laryngeal and oral cancers positively impact QoL by improving functional abilities and reducing symptoms. However, persistent challenges in social and emotional well-being highlight the need for comprehensive rehabilitative and supportive care post-surgery.
