Large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gynecologic tract: Prevalence, survival outcomes, and associated factors.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Background: We aimed to assess the clinical behavior of gynecologic large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) Methods: Patients diagnosed with gynecologic LCNEC from 1988 to 2015 were identified using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. Univariate and multivariate Cox hazard regression analyses were performed to assess independent predictors of overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). OS and CSS were also evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the effects of different treatment regimens on prognosis were compared according to disease stage. Results: Cervical, ovarian, and endometrial LCNEC were observed in 169, 219, and 79 patients, respectively. The 5-year OS rates for patients with cervical, ovarian, and endometrial LCNEC were 35.98%, 17.84%, and 23.21%, respectively, and the median duration of overall survival was 26, 11, and 11 months in each group. The 5-year CSS rates for the three groups were 45.23%, 19.23%, and 31.39%, respectively, and the median duration of CSS was 41, 12, and 11 months in each group. Multivariate analysis revealed that American Joint Committee on Cancer stage, lymph node metastasis, and chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors for OS and CSS in patients with cervical LCNEC. Lymph node metastasis, surgery, and chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors for OS and CSS in the ovarian group and for OS in the endometrial group. Lymph node metastasis and surgery were also independent prognostic factors for CSS in the endometrial group. Conclusion: Surgery alone may help to improve overall survival and CSS in patients with early-stage cervical LCNEC. In contrast, surgery+chemotherapy and surgery+radiotherapy may help to improve survival in those with early-stage ovarian and endometrial LCNEC, respectively. Regardless of subtype, comprehensive treatment involving surgery, CTX, and RT should be considered to improve prognosis in patients with advanced-stage gynecologic LCNEC.
