Concurrent weekly single cisplatin vs triweekly cisplatin alone with radiotherapy for treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer: a meta-analysis.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Radiotherapy (RT) concurrent with cisplatin (CDDP) is the standard regimen used for treatment of locally advanced cervical carcinoma. In this meta-analysis, we compared the weekly and triweekly single CDDP concomitant chemoradiation regimens for treatment of cervical cancer with respect to compliance, recurrence, survival, and acute adverse effects. Materials and methods: A systematic search for relevant studies was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Medline databases. Fixed- or random-effects model was used for pooled analysis. The end points were overall survival, recurrence, compliance, and acute adverse effect reported as odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs. Results: Six randomized trials and two retrospective studies qualified the inclusion criteria. The regimen of triweekly CDDP alone concurrent with RT showed better compliance (OR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.29-0.83; Conclusion: Triweekly single platinum chemotherapy plus concurrent RT was superior to weekly CDDP regimen with respect to local recurrence and treatment compliance in patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma.
