Adjuvant Hysterectomy for Cervical Cancer Patients Treated with Chemoradiation Therapy: A Systematic Review on the Pathology-Proven Residual Disease Rate.
Review in Cancers, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo determine the incidence of pathology-proven residual disease in adjuvant hysterectomy specimens in patients with cervical cancer, treated with chemoradiation therapy. Secondly, to assess a possible association for pathology-proven residual disease regarding the time between chemoradiation therapy and adjuvant hysterectomy. Additionally, the survival rate and complication rate were assessed.
methodsPubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane database were searched from inception up to 8 March 2021.
resultsOf the 4601 screened articles, eleven studies were included. A total of 1205 patients were treated with chemoradiation therapy and adjuvant hysterectomy, ranging from three to twelve weeks after chemoradiation therapy. A total of 411 out of 1205 patients (34%) had pathology-proven residual disease in the adjuvant hysterectomy specimen. There was no association found in the time between chemoradiation therapy and adjuvant hysterectomy. Follow-up ranged from 2.4 to 245 months, during which 270 patients (22%) relapsed, and 298 patients (27%) were deceased. A total of 202 (35%) complications were registered in 578 patients.
conclusionthere is no association found in the time between chemoradiation therapy and residual disease on adjuvant hysterectomy specimens. The survival rates after chemoradiation therapy and adjuvant hysterectomy are suboptimal, while the risk of complications after adjuvant hysterectomy is high.
