Article in Gynecologic oncology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06431724 (A Prospective Analysis of Adherence to National Cervical Cancer Screening Recommendations in Women Age >65), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveEvaluate the characteristics and screening history of patients diagnosed with cervical cancer over age 65.

methodsA retrospective review of 34 patients who were diagnosed with cervical cancer after the age of 65 at a single community cancer center between 2006 and 2016 was performed. Data collected included screening history, method of detection, stage, and survival.

resultsBetween 2006 and 2016, 346 women were diagnosed with cervical cancer at a single community cancer center, 34 (9.8%) of them were over 65 years old. 30 had known screening histories and could be evaluated. 15 women had adequate screening prior to being diagnosed with cervical cancer, indicating that 50% of women who developed cervical cancer after age 65 in this population followed screening guidelines and still developed disease.

conclusionsWomen over 65 make up a significant portion of women diagnosed with cervical cancer. As many as half of all cervical cancers over age 65 occur in women who get recommended screening, and some of these may be prevented or detected early if screening was extended beyond age 65.
