Efficacy and safety of endostar combined with chemoradiotherapy versus chemoradiotherapy alone in locally advanced cervical cancer: A PRISMA-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundTo evaluate the role and safety of endostar in cervical cancer by comparing the efficacy and adverse reactions of endostar combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in patients with locally advanced cervical carcinoma.
methodsThe quality of the included literature was evaluated by searching the database for the comparison of endostar combined with concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy in cervical cancer patients; objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were used as the main outcome indicators, and statistical analysis was performed using RevMan5.3 and State15.3 software.
resultsA total of 13 studies were included in this study, including 1057 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer, suggesting that endostar combined with chemoradiotherapy can significantly improve the objective response rate (ORR: odds ratio 3.88, 95% confidence interval 2.77-5.45, P < .00001) and disease control rate (DCR: odds ratio 4.43, 95% confidence interval 2.78-7.04; P < .00001), and there was no significant increase in treatment-related adverse reactions.
conclusionsIn this meta-analysis, endostar combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy significantly improved ORR and DCR in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer without increasing toxicity. However, this study only analyzed the short-term efficacy of endostar, and its influence on overall survival and progression-free survival needs to be further verified in large randomized controlled trials with long-term follow-up.
