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

backgroundCervical cancer patients with isolated para-aortic lymph nodes (PALN) recurrence were mainly associated with treatment failure. For these patients, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery ± adjuvant therapy or chemoradiotherapy may be advised, however, no specific therapy has been proposed yet. This study aimed to explore factors influencing the prognosis of cervical cancer cases with isolated PALN recurrence and to find out an effective salvage therapy.

methodsCervical cancer cases with isolated PALN recurrence who received therapies in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between January 2013 and June 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.

resultsCarcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level > 10 ng/mL and positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging method used to detect the recurrence were found to be associated with the local control rate. PALN (positive), squamous-cell carcinoma-antigen (SCC-Ag) level (> 10 ng/mL) upon initial diagnosis, and CEA level (> 10 ng/mL), number of metastatic lymph nodes (several) at recurrence were associated with worse survival. Compared with surgery ± adjuvant therapy, chemotherapy (CT) alone or sequential chemoradiotherapy (SCRT) was associated with worse PFS or OS. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) after PALN recurrence could reduce the risk of the second recurrence. 3-year OS of cases after surgery ± adjuvant therapy was the highest (65%), followed by CCRT (45.7%), SCRT (38.9%), radiotherapy (RT) (33.3%), and CT (20.6%).

conclusionIn cervical cancer patients with isolated PALN recurrence, chemoradiotherapy or surgery ± adjuvant therapy may be preferred as the salvage treatment.
