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

Lymph node status is the most important prognosticator of survival in women with early stage cervical cancer. Thus many patients with cervical cancer will undergo pelvic lymphadenectomy as part of the treatment. This procedure is associated with substantial morbidity. Use of the sentinel lymph node technique in women with cervical cancer has the potential to decrease this morbidity. Multiple studies have suggested that sentinel lymph node mapping in these patients is feasible, with excellent detection rates and sensitivity. This review examines the current body of literature about sentinel lymph node biopsy in women with cervical cancer.
