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

objectivesTo explore the risk factors related to regional lymph node metastasis in cervical cancer and analyze the value of independent risk factors in predicting regional lymph node metastasis.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 699 patients who underwent surgery for stage IB1-IIA2 cervical cancer in Quanzhou First Hospital affiliated to Fujian Medical University from 2010 to 2016. The patients were divided into metastasis (

resultsIn univariate analysis, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stages, serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag), histological type of squamous carcinoma and maximal tumor diameter were related factors for lymphatic metastasis in patients with cervical cancer. In multivariate analysis, SCC-Ag and histological type of squamous carcinoma were independent prognostic factors for lymphatic metastasis in patients with cervical cancer. Pre-treatment SCC-Ag serum levels, as a predictor of lymph node metastasis of cervical cancer, revealed a sensitivity of 62.07% (95% confidence interval (CI): 51.03-72.62%), specificity of 65.15% (59.07-70.89%), and area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.69 (95% CI: 0.61-0.76).

conclusionsCervical cancer patients whose pathological type is squamous carcinoma with high levels of SSC-Ag pre-operation are more likely to be diagnosed with regional lymph node metastasis. Standardized lymph node dissection should be implemented during operation.
