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

objectiveTo compare the 5-year oncological outcomes of different adjuvant treatment modalities in patients with FIGO 2018 stage IA-IIA cervical adenocarcinoma who underwent open radical hysterectomy and one intermediate-risk pathological factor.

methodsBased on the Four C database (between 2004 and 2018,n=63,926), patients with FIGO 2018 stage IA-IIA cervical adenocarcinoma and only one intermediate-risk pathological factor underwent open extensive hysterectomy. All patients were divided into three groups, namely, the simple surgery group (radical hysterectomy, RH), postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy group (radical hysterectomy and chemotherapy, RH + CT), and postoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy group (radical hysterectomy and radiotherapy/concurrent chemoradiotherapy, RH + RT/CCRT). The 5-year OS and DFS rates were compared among the three groups.

resultsOf the 219 cervical adenocarcinoma patients with only one intermediate-risk pathological factor, 50 patients had RH; 54 patients had RH + CT; and 115 patients had RH + RT/CCRT. There were no significant differences in 5-year OS and 5-year DFS rates among the three groups (RH vs. RH + CT: 92.7% vs. 90.3%, P = 0.749; 88.5% vs. 85.1%, P = 0.680, RH vs. RH + RT/CCRT: 90.7% vs. 82.3%, P = 0.484; 84.4% vs. 90.1%, P = 0.494, RH + CT vs. RH + RT/CCRT: 89.9% vs. 90.6%, P = 0.815; 90.5% vs. 90.8%, P = 0.905).

conclusionPostoperative adjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy did not significantly improve the outcomes of FIGO 2018 IA-IIA cervical adenocarcinoma patients with only one intermediate risk factor.
