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

To investigate the prognostic value of lymph node status in patients with cervical cancer (CC) patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and followed hysterectomy. Patients in two referral centers were retrospectively analyzed. The baseline tumor size and radiological lymph node status (LNr) were evaluated on pre-NACT MRI. Tumor histology, differentiation and pathological lymph node status (LNp) were obtained from post-operative specimen. The log-rank test was used to compare survival between patient groups. Cox proportional hazards regression models were employed to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) of various factors with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). A total of 266 patients were included. Patients with 2018 FIGO IIIC showed worse PFS compared to those with FIGO IB-IIB (p < 0.001). The response rate in patients with LNp(-) was 64.1% (134/209), significantly higher than that of 45.6% (26/57) in patients with LNp( +) (p = 0.011). Multivariate Cox analysis identified the main independent predictors of PFS as LNp( +) (HR = 3.777; 95% CI 1.715-8.319), non-SCC (HR = 2.956; 95% CI 1.297-6.736), poor differentiation (HR = 2.370; 95% CI 1.130-4.970) and adjuvant radiation (HR = 3.266; 95% CI 1.183-9.019). The interaction between LNr and LNp regarding PFS were significant both for univariate and multivariate (P = 0.000171 and 1.5357e
