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 effectiveness of various strategies for the post-treatment monitoring of cervical cancer is unclear. This pilot study was conducted to explore recurrence patterns in and diagnostic strategies for patients with uterine cervical cancer who were meticulously followed using a customized monitoring plan.

methodsThe epidemiological and clinical data of patients with recurrent cervical cancer treated from March 2012 to April 2018 at a tertiary teaching hospital were retrospectively collected. The diagnostic methods and their reliability were compared across patients with various clinicopathological characteristics and were associated with survival outcomes.

resultsTwo hundred sixty-four patients with recurrent cervical cancer were included in the study, among which recurrence occurred in the first three years after the last primary treatment in 214 patients (81.06%). Half of the recurrence events (50.76%) occurred only within the pelvic cavity, and most lesions (78.41%) were multiple in nature. Among all recurrent cases, approximately half were diagnosed based on clinical manifestations (n=117, 44.32%), followed by imaging examinations (n=76, 28.79%), serum tumor markers (n=34, 12.88%), physical examinations (n=33, 12.50%) and cervical cytology with or without high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) testing (n=4, 1.52%). The reliability of the diagnostic methods was affected by the stage (

conclusionsA meticulous evaluation of clinical manifestations might allow recurrence to be discovered in a timely manner in most patients with cervical cancer. Specific diagnostic methods for revealing recurrence were not associated with the survival outcomes.
