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

Objective: This study aims to explore symptom subgroups and influencing factors among patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for cervical cancer, to construct a symptom network, and to identify core symptoms within the overall sample and its various subgroups. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 378 patients undergoing CCRT for cervical cancer from June 2023 to May 2024 at a tertiary hospital in Anhui Province. Participants completed the General Information Questionnaire, the Symptom Assessment Scale for Patients Undergoing CCRT for Intermediate and Advanced Cervical Cancer, and the Dyadic Coping Inventory. Latent profile analysis (LPA) identified symptom subgroups, while multivariate logistic regression examined influences on these subgroups. Symptom networks were developed using R language to analyze centrality indices and identify core symptoms. Results: Patients were classified into three subgroups: low symptom burden ( Conclusions: Three symptom subgroups exist among patients undergoing CCRT for cervical cancer, with sadness, nausea, and vomiting identified as core symptoms. Health care professionals should provide individualized symptom management tailored to these subgroups.
