An analysis of adjuvant chemoradiotherapy versus chemotherapy on the survival rates for patients with stage IB-III uterine serous carcinoma.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether a combination of chemotherapy plus radiotherapy was able to increase the overall survival rates compared with chemotherapy alone in stage IB-III uterine serous carcinoma. A total of 1096 patients (593 who had not received radiotherapy, and 503 who had) with primary stage IB-III uterine serous carcinoma who underwent surgery and received chemotherapy were included in the present study. The Kaplan-Meier method and Log-Rank tests showed that radiotherapy did not increase 5-year overall survival rates compared with the no-radiotherapy groups (52.3 cf. 50.8%, respectively; P = 0.641). Cox regression analysis subsequently corroborated that radiotherapy did not affect the 5-year overall survival rate (P = 0.635). Patients who were aged ≥ 60 years had a higher mortality rate [hazard ratio (HR), 1.712; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.385-2.117; P < 0.05]. The 5-year overall survival rates were found to be lower in the groups where the regional lymph nodes had not been removed (HR 0.645; 95% CI 0.508-0.821; P < 0.05). Chemotherapy plus radiotherapy was found to not be associated with improved 5-year overall survival rates. However, chemotherapy may be a better treatment option for patients with primary stage IB-III uterine serous carcinoma who have undergone surgery.
