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 describe the incidence and survival outcomes of uterine cervical cancer during 1999-2018.

methodsPatients who were diagnosed with cervical cancer during 1999-2018 were identified in the Korea Central Cancer Registry. Age-standardized incidence rates (ASRs) and annual percent changes (APCs) were calculated. Survival rates by histology, year of diagnosis (1999-2008 vs. 2009-2018), stage, and age at diagnosis were analyzed.

resultsThe absolute incidence of cervical cancer decreased over 20 years from 4,488 in 1999 to 3,500 in 2018, with an APC of -3.42% (p<0.0001). While ASR of squamous cell carcinoma (SCCA) more than halved from 13.27 per 100,000 in 1999 to 6.16 in 2018 (APC, -4.04%), adenocarcinoma continued to rise (ASR, 1.30 per 100,000 to 1.92; APC, 1.52%; p<0.0001). Patients with adenocarcinoma were younger than those with SCCA (mean, 49.9±12.7 vs. 52.9 ±14.6 years; p<0.0001). Five-year survival rate of cervical cancer patients overall was 78.0%. Adenocarcinoma had poorer survival than SCCA (5-year survival rate, 76.8% vs. 79.8%; p<0.0001). There was no survival difference between patients who were diagnosed between 1999-2008 and 2009-2018. Earlier-stage disease had better survival (5-year survival rate for localized, regional, and distant disease, 90.0% vs. 69.9% vs. 26.5%; p<0.0001). Younger patients aged <50 years had better survival than those aged ≥50 years (87.1% vs. 69.8%; p<0.0001).

conclusionThe incidence of SCCA of the uterine cervix declined while adenocarcinoma continued to increase slowly but significantly from 1999 to 2018 in Korea. Adenocarcinoma was diagnosed at a younger age, but had poorer survival outcome than SCCA.
