Prognostic Value of Lymph Node Characteristics in Patients with Cervical Cancer Treated with Radical Hysterectomy.
Article in Cancer management and research, 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
objectiveThis study evaluated the prognostic value of various lymph node (LN) characteristics, including the lymph node ratio (LNR), in patients with cervical cancer treated with radical hysterectomy.
methodsIn this retrospective study, 260 patients with cervical cancer who had undergone radical hysterectomy with pelvic or paraaortic lymphadenectomies were included. LN characteristics related to several LN statuses included total LN counts, LN metastasis, total positive LN counts, LNR, and levels of lymphadenectomy. LNR was defined as the number of metastatic LNs divided by the total number of LNs harvested. Univariate and multivariate analyses for disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were performed using the clinicopathological and LN characteristics.
resultsBased on receiver-operating characteristics curve analysis, the cut-off value of LNR was 0.0625. Multivariate analysis revealed that high LNR was significantly related to tumor recurrence (hazard ratio [HR], 5.182; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.424-11.075;
conclusionLNR may be a prognostic biomarker for predicting disease recurrence in cervical cancer treated with radical hysterectomy.
