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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the potential associations of the sites and the number of specific metastases with survival in patients newly diagnosed with cervical cancer.

methodsMedical records of patients with organ metastases of newly diagnosed cervical cancer at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from October 2006 to December 2016 were reviewed retrospectively. Survival times were compared using the Kaplan-Meier method. Variables associated with survival were identified using univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models.

resultsA total of 99 patients with newly diagnosed organ metastatic cervical cancer were identified. Median follow-up was 11.6 months (range, 0.5-114.7 months). Median overall survival (OS) time was 11.7 months from diagnosis, with 1, 2, and 5-year OS rates of 48.2%, 22.8%, and 12.6%, respectively. The most common site of organ metastasis was bone (36.8%), followed by lung (32.8%) and liver (24%). In univariate analysis, OS rates were better for bone metastasis than visceral metastasis (

conclusionOur data revealed the site of metastasis is associated with overall survival of patients with newly diagnosed organ metastatic cervical cancer, with liver metastasis signifying particularly poor overall survival. Individualized treatments should be administered to patients depending on the specific metastatic sites.
