Phase II activity trial of high-dose radiation and chemosensitization in patients with macrometastatic lymph node spread after sentinel node biopsy in vulvar cancer: GROningen INternational Study on Sentinel nodes in Vulvar cancer III (GROINSS-V III/NRG-GY024).
Trial report in International journal of gynecological cancer : official journal of the International Gynecological Cancer Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05076942 (Groningen International Study on Sentinel Nodes in Vulvar Cancer-III, a Prospective Phase II Treatment Trial), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
backgroundStandard treatment of early-stage vulvar cancer is a radical, wide, local excision of the primary tumor and a sentinel lymph node (SLN) procedure for the groins. An inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy is no longer necessary for patients who have a negative SLN or micrometastasis ( PRIMARY
objectiveTo investigate the safety of replacing inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy by chemoradiation in patients with early-stage vulvar cancer with a macrometastasis (>2 mm) and/or extracapsular extension in the sentinel node. STUDY HYPOTHESIS: Combination of 56 Gy of radiation to the inguinal site and concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy without completion inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy will be feasible and safe, with low groin recurrence rates. TRIAL
designThis is a single-arm, prospective phase II treatment trial with stopping rules for unacceptable groin recurrences. Eligible patients will receive 56 Gy of radiation to the involved inguinal site and chemotherapy with concurrent cisplatin. MAJOR INCLUSION/EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Eligible patients undergoing sentinel node procedure will have stage I, unifocal, invasive (>1 mm depth of invasion) squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva with tumor size <4 cm, and no suspicious nodes on imaging. Those eligible for the trial are those with a metastasis >2 mm in the sentinel node and/or extracapsular extension, or more than one sentinel node with micrometastasis ≤2 mm. PRIMARY ENDPOINT: Groin recurrence rate in the first 2 years after primary treatment. SAMPLE SIZE: 157 patients with macrometastases in their SLN.
