Predictors of distant metastasis or local recurrent after radiotherapy in patients with cervical cancer.
Article in BMC cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo evaluate risk factors for survival, recurrence and metastasis in patients with FIGO stage IA-IVA cervical cancer who underwent radical radiotherapy (RT) or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of 1288 cervical cancer patients. Kaplan-Meier curves, Cox regression models, and log-rank tests were used for statistical analysis.
resultsThe 5-year overall survival rate for patients with stage I-II and stage III-IVA are 81.1% and 70.4%. In multivariable analysis, pathological type, 2009 FIGO stage, pre-treatment SCC-Ag level, pre-brachytherapy tumor size, and CCRT are independent influencing factors for patient OS. Patients with non-squamous cell carcinoma are more likely to occur distant metastasis compared to those with squamous cell carcinoma. No significant correlation was observed between histological types among patients with local recurrence. In patients with squamous cell carcinoma, multivariable analysis showed that SCC value > 11.75 at diagnosis was an independent predictor of distant metastasis and local recurrence (P = 0.001 and P = 0.038, respectively). Lymph node metastasis was an independent risk factor for distant metastasis. Age, treatment time of RT, CCRT, and pre-treatment Hb classification showed no significant correlation with cervical cancer distant metastasis and local recurrence.
conclusionsNon-squamous cell carcinoma patients may have a worse prognosis than squamous cell carcinoma patients. In patients with squamous cell carcinoma, SCC value at diagnosis, and lymph node metastasis are independent influencing factors for distant metastasis, while SCC value at diagnosis is an independent influencing factor for local recurrence.
