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

The purpose of the present study was to analyze the feasibility and safety of radiosensitization using hydrogen peroxide for cervical cancer. In superficial tumors, breast cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma, the safety and effectiveness of radiosensitization has been reported; to the best of our knowledge, however, there are no reports on cervical cancer. A total of 20 patients with cervical cancer were recruited. Inclusion criteria were as follows: Patients who required radical external beam radiotherapy (RT); ineligible for or refused brachytherapy; age, ≥20 years; no hematogenous metastasis; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status up to 2; and had not undergone prior treatment. Hydrogen peroxide was used twice a week in combination with RT. A 3% hydrogen peroxide solution-soaked gauze was inserted into the vagina during RT. A total of 45 Gy was delivered in 25 fractions to the whole pelvis with a boost of 10 Gy in 5 fractions if pelvic or para-aortic metastatic lymph nodes were observed. Ultimately, 18 patients were evaluated. Among the 17 patients (excluding one patient with tumor
