Trial report in Journal of gynecologic oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04461574 (Clinical Trial Comparing the Use of Orcellex® Brush Versus Cervex-Brush® on Vaginal Vault Smear Cytology Adequacy Rate in Patients Treated With Radiotherapy for Cervical Cancer), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

objectiveThis study aims to evaluate and compare the Cervex-Brush

methodsA randomized crossover trial was conducted at a gynecological oncology center in Hong Kong to compare the Cervex-Brush

resultsOne hundred sixty cervical cancer patients treated with primary radiotherapy and undergoing follow-up surveillance by vaginal vault cytology were recruited. The smear adequacy rate was 90.6% for Cervex-Brush

conclusionThere was no difference between the Orcellex
