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

purpose of reviewPatients with early-stage cervical cancer who desire future fertility may be candidates for less radical surgery. We review the literature supporting this approach in early-stage disease. RECENT

findingsRetrospective data have shown that in carefully selected patients, the risk of parametrial involvement is less than 1%. This has led to interest in moving away from radical surgery towards more conservative approaches. Data from the newly published ConCerv trial, a prospective study evaluating the feasibility of conservative surgery in women with early-stage, low-risk cervical carcinoma, suggest that conservative surgery is feasible and safe in this patient population. Furthermore, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is being assessed as an option to extend fertility-sparing treatment to a larger group of women. Less radical surgery may be appropriate for carefully selected women with early-stage, low-risk cervical cancer, including those desiring future fertility.
