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

objectivesTo investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with primary sarcoma of the uterine cervix.

methodsWe identified all patients with primary cervical sarcomas treated at our institution from 2002 to 2020 and analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis.

results34 patients were identified, 7 (20.6%) patients had leiomyosarcoma, 6 (17.6%) had carcinosarcoma, 5 (14.7%) had Ewing sarcoma, 4 (11.8%) had rhabdomyosarcoma, 4 (11.8%) had undifferentiated sarcoma, 2 (5.9%) had adenosarcoma, 2 (5.9%) had endometrial stromal sarcoma, 1 (2.9%) had dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, 1 (2.9%) had alveolar soft tissue sarcoma and 2 (5.9%) had sarcoma not otherwise specified. The median age of the whole patients was 43.5 years (range, 13-63). The median age of patients with Ewing sarcoma or rhabdomyosarcoma was 22 years (range, 13-39) and 17 years (range, 13-36 years), respectively. The distribution by stage was: stage I in 21 (61.8%) patients, stage II in 4 (11.8%), stage III in 6 (17.6%) and stage IV in 3 (8.8%). Overall, 30 patients (88.2%) received surgical treatment. The median follow-up was 33.3 months (range 3.6-187.3 months). 11 patients died within 2 years after diagnosis, most of them were patients with carcinosarcoma or undifferentiated sarcoma (45.5%, 5/11). In the entire cohort, 2- and 5-year OS were 67.2% and 56.9%, respectively. 5-year OS was 25.0% for undifferentiated sarcoma, 50.0% for rhabdomyosarcoma, 50.0% for carcinosarcoma, 53.3% for Ewing sarcoma, 57.1% for leiomyosarcoma.

conclusionCervical sarcomas are rare neoplasms with multiple histological subtypes and follow an aggressive course. Prognosis may be associated with tumor histology and stage.
