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

Radiation therapy (RT) is the standard of care in patients with locoregional or isolated vaginal recurrence who never underwent irradiation. It is often associated with brachytherapy (BT), whereas chemotherapy (CT) is a rare treatment option. We systematically searched the PubMed and Scopus databases in February 2023. We included patients with relapsed endometrial cancer, describing the treatment of locoregional recurrence, and reporting at least one outcome of interest-disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), recurrence rate (RR), site of recurrence, and major complications. A total of 15 studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Overall, 11 evaluated RT only, 3 evaluated CT, and 1 analyzed oncological outcomes after administration with a combination of CT and RT. In total, 4.5-year OS ranged from 16% to 96%, and DFS ranged from 36.3% to 100% at 4.5 years. RR ranged from 3.7% to 98.2% during a median follow-up of 51.5 months. Overall, RT showed a 4.5-year DFS from 40% to 100%. CT revealed 36.3% DFS at 4.5 years. RT showed a 4.5-year OS ranging from 16% to 96%, whereas CT revealed a 27.7% OS rate. It would be appropriate to test multi-modality regimens to evaluate outcomes and toxicity. EBRT and BT are the most employed options to treat vaginal recurrences.
