Outcome of Radiation Therapy for Stage IVB Uterine Cervical Cancer With Distant Lymph Nodes Metastases; Sequential Irradiation for Distant Lymph Nodes Metastases.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimThis study aimed to evaluate the outcome of radiation therapy for patients with distant lymph node (LN) metastases, without organ metastases from uterine cervical cancer (UCC). PATIENTS AND
methodsTwenty-six patients with UCC with distant LN metastases received radiotherapy and were retrospectively analyzed. The sites of distant LN metastasis were as follows; Supraclavicular in 19, inguinal in nine, axillary in four, and others in three. The mean dose prescribed for these was 50 (range=40-60) Gy.
resultsThe 2-year overall, cause-specific, and progression-free survival, and local control of primary tumor rates were 51.3%, 51.3%, 46.9%, and 67.9%. In multivariate analysis, performance status ≥1 (p=0.007), para-aortic LN metastases (p=0.001), and lack of high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy (p=0.033) were significantly associated with poor overall survival. Performance status ≥1 (p=0.004), and para-aortic LN metastases (p=0.014) were significantly associated with poor cause-specific survival.
conclusionThis study demonstrated favorable local control in patients with UCC with distant LN metastases.
