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

Background: A growing number of patients with early-stage cervical cancer opt for local tumor resection to preserve the uterus. Nevertheless, there is still a dearth of long-term comparisons between local tumor destruction/excision (LTD/LTE) and total hysterectomy(TH), and the optimal target population for local tumor excision remains uncertain. Methods: A multicenter retrospective study utilizing the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to compare the long-term outcomes between LTD/LTE and TH in stage IA cervical cancer patients was conducted. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) method was employed to obtain matched cohorts with similar baseline characteristics in the LTD/LTE and TH groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) between the two groups. The Cox proportional hazard models were employed to identify factors associated with OS and CSS. Results: This study comprised a total of 6382 cervical cancer patients, with 1759 undergoing LTD/LTE and 4623 undergoing TH. After PSM, a significant difference was observed in OS (P=0.030) between the two groups, while no significant difference was found in CSS (P=0.110). Subgroup analysis of patients with stage IA1 (OS: P=0.018; CSS: P=0.230) and IA2 (OS: P=0.071; CSS: P=0.240) revealed no significant differences in OS and CSS between the two groups. Older age (≥50 years) [HR=2.20; 95% CI: 2.20-3.30)] and histological types other than squamous cell carcinoma and usual-type adenocarcinoma [HR=4.40; 95% CI:1.80-11.10] favored TH for better OS, whereas well-differentiated (grade I-II) [HR=0.40; 95% CI: 0.20-0.90] patients were more suitable for LTD/LTE, leading to improved OS and CSS outcomes. Conclusion: It was determined that the long-term outcomes of LTD/LTE are comparable to TH and can serve as a safe option for selected patients with stage IA cervical cancer. Future large prospective studies are required to validate our findings and explore differences in recurrence patterns between the two treatment strategies.
