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

Background: The prognostic factors affecting post-recurrence survival (PRS) in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) who receive concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) are not well established. This study aimed to assess the prognostic factors for PRS in patients with recurrent LACC who underwent CCRT as the primary treatment. Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with a first recurrence of cervical cancer (stage IB2-IVA), who were initially treated with CCRT and completed the planned radiotherapy from 2002 to 2018. Multivariate analysis of independent factors for PRS was performed with the Cox proportional-hazards model. Results: Of 1,658 patients with LACC primarily treated with CCRT, 424 (25.6%) had recurrence, with 142, 125, and 157 patients having locoregional, distant, and combined recurrence, respectively. Approximately 75% of recurrence cases were detected within 2 years after completed treatment, and 81.8% of cases demonstrated symptoms at recurrence diagnosis. The median PRS was 8.4 months, and the 1- and 5-year PRS rates were 36.0% and 5.3%, respectively. Multivariate analysis found that the recurrence-free interval (RFI) (p < 0.001), recurrence pattern (p < 0.001), white blood cell count (p < 0.001), and treatment at recurrence (p < 0.001) were independent prognostic factors for PRS. Conclusion: The prognosis of recurrent LACC initially treated with CCRT was notably poor. RFI, recurrence pattern, white blood cell count, and treatment at recurrence were independent prognostic factors for PRS.
