Cervical Cancer Treatment in HIV-Positive Patients: A Survey of Treatment Practices in India.
Article in JCO global oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
purposeChemoradiation remains a challenge in women living with HIV (WLWH) and cervical cancer primarily because of concerns regarding immune status. With limited literature available to help guide the management of these patients, clinical practices among oncologists are variable across India. Hence, we conducted a survey among radiation oncologists in India to assess the patterns of current practices of treating cervical cancer with chemoradiation in WLWH. MATERIALS AND
methodsA questionnaire consisting of 12 questions related to the treatment of cervical cancer in WLWH was distributed to radiation oncologists at two national conferences in India.
resultsThe questionnaire was distributed to 105 radiation oncologists, and 90 (85.7%) responses were received. 95.5% of respondents reported that patients with advanced cervical cancer constituted the majority of their practice. Chemoradiation was reported as the most common modality of planned treatment. Ninety-four percentage of respondents reported that they referred patients to an antiretroviral therapy clinic before starting definitive treatment. The majority of respondents (68%) do not plan for concurrent chemotherapy if CD4 counts were < 200 cells/mm
conclusionThis survey highlights the prevalent inconsistencies in treatment protocols employed by radiation oncologists in India for the management of locally advanced cervical cancer in WLWH. It also reflects the need for social and nutritional support to help improve compliance and thereby improve outcomes in these patients.
