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

Surgery plays an important role in the management of early-stage cervical cancer. Type III radical hysterectomy with bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection using open route is the standard surgical procedure. There is level I evidence against the use of laparoscopic/robotic approach for radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer. Emerging data support the use of sentinel lymph node biopsy and nerve sparing radical hysterectomy in carefully selected patients with early-stage disease. In locally advanced cervical cancer patients, the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by radical surgery yields inferior disease-free survival compared to definitive concurrent chemoradiation therapy. Therefore, definitive concurrent chemoradiation is the standard treatment for locally advanced disease. Fertility preserving surgery is feasible in highly selected young patients. Role of less-radical surgical procedures in patients' with low-stage disease with good prognostic factors is under evaluation.
