Para-aortic lymph node involvement in cervical cancer: Implications for staging, outcome and treatment.
Review in The Indian journal of medical research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Locally advanced cervical cancer with the involvement of para-aortic lymph nodes (PALN) is a common occurrence in low-income and low-middle-income countries. With the incorporation of PALN in the recent FIGO staging, therapeutic management becomes crucial. There are varied presentations of this group which may range from microscopic involvement to extensive lymphadenopathy. Various imaging modalities have been studied to accurately diagnose PALN metastases without surgical intervention, while some investigators have studied the survival benefit of para-aortic lymph node dissection for accurate staging and guiding extent of radiation. With recent advances in radiation therapy, its application to treat bulky nodal metastases and the role of prophylactic irradiation have been reported. In this review, the available evidence and the scope of further interventions is presented.
