Reproduction outcomes and prognostic significance of pregnancy after nasopharyngeal carcinoma treatment.
Article in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveMany female patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) desire to reproduce after treatment. To evaluate the outcomes of subsequent pregnancy after NPC and explore the prognostic effects of pregnancy in women.
methodsFemale patients with locoregional NPC were included, and their pregnancy status, newborn information, and obstetric information were collected. Pregnant patients after therapy were matched to non-pregnant patients for survival analysis and overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), and locoregional relapse-free survival (LRFS) were assessed.
resultsOf 895 patients, 79 conceived after NPC treatment. Of these, 52 women successfully delivered, and the rest had abortions. No abnormalities were recorded in any of the newborns and the caesarean section rate was 30.1%. The median birth weight of newborns was 3.11 kg. Patients who delivered successfully were younger than those who had an abortion. Among the pregnancies, four cases of spontaneous abortion and two cases of ectopic pregnancy were recorded. No significant differences in OS, DFS, LRFS, or DMFS were observed between the 79 subsequently pregnant patients and 315 matched non-pregnant patients.
conclusionPregnancy after NPC treatment was not associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Abortion may not be a remedial choice post-treatment in patients with NPC.
