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

Early glottic cancer has an excellent prognosis provided that recurrences are detected in a timely manner. However, current guidelines lack specific recommendations for intervals or interventions during follow-up, and primarily advocate surveillance in the most advanced stages where the benefits are actually the lowest. This consensus statement introduces a risk-stratification-guided follow-up schedule for T1-T2N0 patients, aiming to optimize oncologic and functional outcomes while ensuring early detection of residual or recurrent disease to preserve organ function. Separate protocols are outlined for surgical and non-surgical patients, including endoscopic examination, radiological imaging, and thyroid function screening. Also, the pathway to reach this routine observation phase is described, specifying the criteria and timing of a second-look microlaryngoscopy.
