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

backgroundThe prognostic factors for survival in squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA) of vulva cancer such as groin node involvement, postmenopausal status, tumor size, margin status, tumor grade, lymph vascular space invasion (LVSI) were reported in the past. However, with limited data from Southeast - Asian population, the present study was conducted to evaluate the clinicopathological prognostic factors for survival outcomes of this disease after treatment with surgery.

methodsAll SCCA vulva cancer patients who underwent surgery between January 2006 and December 2017 were reviewed. The clinicopathological factors were analyzed to identify the prognostic factors for the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) using the Kaplan- Meier method and Cox-Proportional Hazard model.

resultsOne hundred twenty-five patients were recruited. The independent poor prognostic factors for PFS were groin node-positive and  pathologic tumor diameter of more than 25 mm. Whereas postmenopausal status and groin node positive were independent poor prognostic factors for OS.

conclusionGroin node-positive was the only one independent poor prognostic factor for both PFS and OS. In addition, the tumor diameter longer than 25 mm. was independent poor prognostic factors for PFS while postmenopausal status was independent poor prognostic factors for OS. Special adjuvant treatment for patients with these factors should be further investigated. <br />.
