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 determine whether gross tumor volume (GTV) and the maximum diameter of resectable cervical cancer at magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could predict lymph node metastasis (LNM) and lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI). MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 315 consecutive patients with cervical cancer were retrospectively identified. Gross tumor volume and the maximum diameter of tumor were evaluated on MRI. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine whether tumor size could predict LNM and LVSI. Cutoffs of GTV, maximum diameter, and the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) classification of tumor were first investigated in 255 patients (group A) and then validated in an independent cohort of 60 patients (group B) using area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) analysis for predicting the presence of LNM and LVSI.

resultsUnivariate analysis showed that GTV and the maximum diameter of tumor could predict LNM and LVSI (all P < 0.0001). Multivariate analyses indicated GTV as an independent risk factor of LNM and LVSI (all P < 0.0001). In group A, GTV, the maximum diameter, and the FIGO stage could identify LNM (AUC, 0.813, 0.741, and 0.69, respectively) and LVSI (AUC, 0.806, 0.751, and 0.684, respectively). In group B, GTV, the maximum diameter, and the FIGO stage could help identify LNM (AUC, 0.902, 0.825, and 0.759, respectively) and LVSI (AUC, 0.771, 0.748, and 0.700, respectively).

conclusionsGross tumor volume and the maximum diameter of resectable cervical cancer at MRI demonstrated capability in predicting LNM and LVSI, which were more accurate than FIGO stage.
