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

objectiveTo evaluate the clinical value of sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection using carbon nanoparticles in the diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer and the value of lymph node pathological ultrastaging detection.

methodsA total of 79 patients with cervical cancer in IA2, IB1, IB2, IIA1 and IIICp1 stages admitted to the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Nanfang Hospital between June, 2018 and January, 2021 were included in this study. During the operation, the patients were injected with a total of 0.25 mL carbon nanoparticles at 3 and 9 o'clock of the normal cervix after general anesthesia. The first black-dyed lymph nodes were identified as SLNs and removed one by one. All the patients underwent pelvic lymph node dissection and radical hysterectomy with or without para-aortic lymphadenectomy. The black-dyed SLNs were removed for routine pathological examination. Thirty patients with negative SLNs were randomly selected for pathological ultrastaging.

resultsIn 67 of the 79 patients, a total of 417 SLNs were detected with a detection rate of 84.8%; in each patient, at least 1 SLN was detected with a mean SLN number of 5.28. After the operation, 5 patients were found to have positive SLNs; 1 patient was negative for SLN but positive for non-SLN. The sensitivity of SLN biopsy was 83.3% with a specificity of 100%, false negative rate of 16.7%, an accuracy of 98.5% and a negative predictive value of 98.4%. SLN was distributed mainly in the obturator region, the external iliac region, the internal iliac region and the total iliac region (15.11%). Univariate and multivariate analyses suggested that preoperative cervical coning (

conclusionCarbon nanoparticle tracing of the SLNs is safe and feasible in the diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer, and SLN detection is safe in patients with primary lesion size below 2 cm or without cervical conization. SLN combined with pathological ultrastaging detection does not improve the detection rate of isolated tumor cells or micrometastases.
