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

objectiveTo characterize risk factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and to examine effects of VTE on survival of women with cervical cancer.

methodsThis is a retrospective study examining consecutive stage I-IV cervical cancer cases diagnosed between 2000 and 2014. Cumulative risk of VTE after cervical cancer diagnosis was evaluated by a time-dependent analysis, expressing adjusted-hazard ratio [HR] and 95% confidence interval [CI]. Survival analysis was performed to determine independent risk factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and disease-specific overall survival (OS).

resultsVTE was recorded in 98 (12.3%, 95%CI 11.6-22.8) out of 798 cases with 1-, 2-, and 5-year cumulative incidences after cervical cancer diagnosis being 8.4%, 11.3%, and 18.7%, respectively. On multivariable analysis, advanced-stage disease (2-year cumulative risk, distant metastatic disease 44.8% [HR 4.13, 95%CI 1.06-10.7, P=0.003], and locally-advanced disease 13.4% [HR 2.46, 95%CI 1.17-4.43, P=0.004]) were independently associated with increased risk of VTE compared to early-stage disease (stage IA1-IB1 4.1%). In addition, low albumin level (HR per unit change, 0.59, 95%CI 0.40-0.85, P=0.005) and chemotherapy treatment (HR 2.46, 95%CI 1.30-4.66, P=0.006) remained independent risk factors associated with increased risk of VTE. On univariate analysis, VTE was significantly associated with decreased PFS (5-year rates, 22.3% versus 68.7%, P<0.001) and OS (5-year rates, 55.1% versus 90.0%, P<0.001). On multivariable analysis, VTE remained an independent prognostic factor associated with decreased PFS (HR 1.95, 95%CI 1.43-2.67, P<0.001) and OS (HR 3.54, 95%CI 2.04-6.13, P<0.001).

conclusionVTE represents aggressive tumor behavior and poor patient condition, and is an independent prognostic factor for decreased survival in women with cervical cancer.
