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

backgroundIn the present study, we compared the efficacy and safety of concurrent radiotherapy with S-1 plus cisplatin (CRSC) versus concurrent radiotherapy with cisplatin alone (CRC) for the treatment of advanced cervical carcinoma (ACC).

methodsBetween February 2006 and January 2009, 72 eligible patients with ACC were included and randomly divided into two groups. Thirty-six patients received CRSC with radiotherapy (60 Gy/30 fractions over 6 weeks) beginning on day 1, S-1 (according to body surface area) for 28 days repeated every 6 weeks, and cisplatin (50 mg/m(2), intravenously on day 1) every 4 weeks for two cycles. The other 36 received CRC at the same cisplatin and radiotherapy dosage as for CRSC. The primary outcome was overall survival, whereas the secondary outcomes included progression-free survival and toxicity.

resultsThe median overall survival was 75 months (range 4-86 months) for the CRSC group and 66 months (range 3-87 months) for the CRC group (P = 0.039). The median corresponding progression-free survival was 66 months (range 3-75 months) and 58 months (range 3-71 months), respectively (P = 0.042). The toxicity profile was similar in both the groups.

conclusionOur results suggested that CRSC might be more effective than CRC in patients with ACC with acceptable toxicity.
