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

Objectives: Systemic bevacizumab has been shown to reduce the surgical burden of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). However, no previous studies have examined specific patient-reported differences in quality-of-life (QoL) between systemic bevacizumab and surgical treatment. This study aimed to assess patient perspectives across two academic medical centers to inform clinical practice and shared decision-making. Methods: A cross-institutional survey was distributed to patients who previously underwent both systemic bevacizumab and surgical treatment for RRP. Participants rated their experiences with each treatment across four domains: QoL, adverse effects, economics, and mental health. Paired responses were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: Of 24 patients (mean age 48.3 years) who completed the survey, 18 (75%) were actively receiving systemic bevacizumab treatment. Mean age at RRP diagnosis was 17.1 years, and patients had undergone an average of 91.4 surgeries and 25.1 bevacizumab infusions. Compared with surgery, bevacizumab was associated with significantly improved self-reported voice ( Conclusion: Systemic bevacizumab improves patient QoL across multiple domains compared with surgical treatment and represents an important step toward more patient-centered care in RRP. Level of Evidence: 4.
