Longitudinal Health-Related Quality of Life Study among Cervical Cancer Patients Treated with Radiotherapy.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Quality of life studies in medicine, particularly in oncology, have become a basic tool used to assess patient's performance in different types of cancer and different modalities of treatment. The aim of this study was a subjective evaluation of the quality of life in cervical cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. The study has a longitudinal character and comprises four stages: before treatment, at the end of treatment, 5 months and 5 years after treatment. Standardized questionnaires such as EORTC QoL C30, HADS (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of life C30 Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale) and the authors demographic-clinical assessment survey were the study tools. Physical functioning was assessed as the highest before treatment and depreciated to the lowest value 5 years after treatment. Emotional functioning was the lowest before treatment and then decreased again in the fourth stage of the assessment. Global quality of life was the lowest in the fourth stage of the study. Memory and concentration were fairly good at every stage of the study, with the highest score at the end of the treatment. At stages 3 and 4, the respondent's social functioning was the best, followed by the ability to fulfil their social role. General health and quality of life were assessed by the respondents on a level slightly above average, though five years after treatment the score was slightly below average.
