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 this study is to review the clinical characteristics, treatment modalities, and potential contributing and prognostic factors of bone metastases from gynecological cancers (GCs). A systematic literature search on PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases was conducted. Thirty-one studies, all retrospective, were included in this review, for a total of 2880 patients with GC bone metastases. Primary tumors leading to bone metastases included endometrial cancer (EC), cervical cancer (CC), ovarian cancer (OC), uterine sarcoma (US) and vulvar cancer (VuC), mainly with an International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Stage of III and IV. The main bone metastatic lesion site was the vertebral column, followed by the pelvic bone and lower extremity bones. The median survival rate after bone metastases diagnosis ranged from 3.0 to 45 months. The most frequent treatments were palliative and included radiotherapy and chemotherapy, followed by surgery. The findings of this review give a first dataset for a greater understanding of GC bone metastases that could help clinicians move toward a more "personalized" and thus more effective patient management.
