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

purposeTo stratify patients according to tumor marker and histology and compare the survival outcome between radical hysterectomy (RH) and primary concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in bulky IB and IIA cervical cancer.

methodsA total of 442 patients with cervical cancer were enrolled in the Chang Gung Research Database from January 2002 to December 2017. Patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) ≥10 ng/mL, adenocarcinoma (AC), or adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) were stratified into the high-risk (HR) group. The others were classified into the low-risk (LR) group. We compared oncology outcomes between RH and CCRT in each group.

resultsIn the LR group, 5-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were 85.9% vs. 85.4% (

conclusionsThere were similar survival and recurrence rates between both treatment modalities in low-risk patients. Meanwhile, primary surgery with or without adjuvant radiation provides better RFS and local control in women with high-risk features. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.
