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

backgroundAlthough carbon-ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT) with concurrent chemotherapy (chemo-C-ion RT) is a promising treatment for adenocarcinoma (AC) of the uterine cervix, its long-term efficacy remains unclear. We evaluated the long-term significance of concurrent weekly cisplatin and C-ion RT for locally advanced AC of the uterine cervix.

methodsWe performed a pooled analysis of patients with stage IIB-IVA AC of the uterine cervix who underwent C-ion RT alone or chemo-C-ion RT between September 2007 and December 2018 at our institution. Patients received 74.4 Gy (relative biological effectiveness) with or without cisplatin (40 mg/m

resultsThe matched cohort contained 26 patients who underwent C-ion RT and 26 who underwent chemo-C-ion RT. The median age and follow-up period were 57 (range, 28-79) years and 34 (range, 2-126) months, respectively. The 5-year overall survival rate was significantly better in the chemo-C-ion RT group (72%) than in the C-ion RT group (46%; P = .041). The 5-year distant metastatic-free rate was also significantly better in the chemo-C-ion RT group (66%) than in the C-ion RT group (41%; P = .048). The incidence of grade ≥ 3 late toxicities was comparable between the two groups.

conclusionsChemo-C-ion RT for locally advanced AC of the uterine cervix is associated with a long-term survival benefit.
