Evidence-based guideline diagnosis, treatment, prevention and aftercare of oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinoma.

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
The guideline is being drawn up as a joint guideline for oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinoma. Oropharyngeal carcinoma in particular has experienced the greatest increase in incidence among all head and neck carcinomas in the last 20 years and is now the sixth most common cancer in men in Germany. Together with hypopharyngeal carcinoma, these tumors are currently the most common cancer entity in the head and neck region. Due to the association with human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16), we now distinguish two groups of oropharyngeal carcinomas in Germany: HPV16-positive (approx. 35%) and HPV-negative (approx. 65%). A HPV16 association with hypopharyngeal carcinoma has not been described. The therapy covers the entire spectrum of head and neck surgery, including diversified reconstructive procedures, transoral and external approaches, the options for primary and adjuvant radiotherapy (possibly in combination with chemotherapy) and the current recommendations for drug-based tumor therapy, which range from classic chemotherapy to immuno-oncology. In addition, measures for early detection and prevention are carried out, with particular consideration of the HPV16-associated genesis of oropharyngeal carcinoma, as well as adequate rehabilitation after the primary treatment of oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinomas. Finally, the treatment options for recurrences or distant metastases that cannot be cured in the further course of the disease are shown and classified.
