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

backgroundThe purpose of this work was to identify the results of pelvic exenteration for recurrent, persistent or locally advanced cervical cancer in terms of survival performed for 41 patients in Salah Azaiez Institute. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe conducted a retrospective unicentric study. The association between PE and OS was estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier using SPSS ver 24.

resultsMedian age at the time of intervention was 53.9 years old. FIGO stage IIB was the most frequent (46.3%). Eighteen patients had pelvic exenteration after neoadjuvant treatment. Resection margins were free of tumor in 83.3% of cases. Twenty-three patients underwent pelvic exenteration for recurrence of cervical cancer treated. The median time of recurrence was 23.4 months. Free resection margins were obtained in 69.5% of cases. Postoperative complications were noted in 61% of patients. Two deaths were seen in the early postoperative period. After a median follow-up of 40.5 months, 24.4% of recurrences were noted. Overall survival at 5 years was 51% and recurrence-free survival at one year was 39%. Prognostic factors which impact overall and recurrence-free survival were the size of recurrence and resection margins after exenteration. The time between the end of initial treatment and recurrence was the only predictive factor of recurrence after pelvic exenteration.

conclusionPelvic exenteration remains a curative treatment of cervical cancer in certain indications despite high morbidity. A rigorous preoperative selection of candidate may reduce the morbidity and improve the survival of patients.
