Concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix in a uterus didelphys with vaginal septum.
Article in Journal of contemporary brachytherapy, 2019. 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
In November 2011, a 61-year-old woman was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the cervix in a uterus didelphys with vaginal septum. The patient was diagnosed with Fédération Internationale de Gynécologie et d'Obstétrique (FIGO) stage IIB because of infiltration to the left parametrium without infiltration to the pelvic wall. The patient was treated with external-beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy (BT), using concomitant chemotherapy with cisplatin. A total of 50 Gy were delivered (2 Gy/fraction/day) to the pelvis, with a central shield after 40 Gy. The patient was treated four times with BT (6 Gy × 4 fractions), with tandem and ovoid applicators inserted once to the left side; tandem to the left side and ovoid bilaterally were inserted twice; and tandem to the right side and ovoid bilaterally were inserted once. Six years and 8 months after the start of treatment, the patient had had no relapse or severe late adverse effects. For accurate diagnosis and optimal treatment of the uterus didelphys, careful interview and pelvic examination at initial diagnosis of a patient are very important.
