Long-Term Voice Outcomes After Trans-Oral Resection of Early Glottis 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
objectivesSurvival after trans-oral laser microsurgery (TLM) for glottic carcinoma is excellent. However, the voice quality after TLM remains unclear. This study examines voice outcomes following different surgical procedures. STUDY
designA retrospective study of voice outcomes (GRBAS, VHI-10, CSID scores) after TLM. MATERIAL AND
methodsPatients undergoing TLM were studied. We collected the Voice Handicap Index (VHI-10), acoustic analysis (Cepstral Spectral Peak Prominence, CSPP score), and GRBAS rating score. These data were correlated with cancer stage and ELS (surgery type).
resultsWe studied 102 patients (86 males, 16 females; median age 74). There were 51 type I and 27 type Va resections. The rest underwent types II, III, IV, Vb, VI, and open vertical hemilaryngectomy surgery. The median follow-up time was 5.2 years. The median VHI-10 score was 7.5 (normal < 10). The median CSID score was 27.5 (mild = 20-40). The Average GRBAS score was G1.5, R1, B1, A0, S1.5 (mild = 1, moderate = 2). There was a correlation between the CSID score and the type of cordectomy and surgical stage. There was a statistical difference in Type I ELR resection outcomes compared with all other types in voice outcome (Cohen's d-value > 0.5).
conclusionsPatients often rate their VHI as normal, while objective and perceptual raters rate voices after TLM as showing mild to moderate dysphonia. This low VHI score may be due to cancer survivorship. Understanding the patient experience after TLM surgery and knowing the extent of surgery on voice outcomes can help better counsel patients undergoing TLM. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3:
