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

objectiveTo investigate the short-term efficacy and safety of Endostar combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma (LACSC).

methodsA total of 91 patients with LACSC admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from June 2019 to December 2020 were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (n = 48) or control group (n = 43). The control group received radiotherapy for cervical cancer and paclitaxel combined with platinum chemotherapy (CCRT), and the experimental group received Endostar continuous intravenous infusion of anti-angiogenic therapy plus CCRT. The short-term efficacy, common clinical indicators, tumor indicators, changes in serum vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), and the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) were explored after treatment.

resultsCompared with the control group, the complete response (CR) rate in the experimental group was significantly increased (83.33%

conclusionEndostar combined with CCRT in the treatment of LACSC can further improve the efficacy of CR rate and significantly reduce serum tumor indicators and VEGF-A levels, with mild and controllable AEs. Endostar combined with CCRT is expected to be a new treatment regimen for LACSC.
