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 investigated the analgesic effects in patients with cervical cancer during brachytherapy. Methods: In this prospective study, 100 patients with cervical cancer who were admitted to Chongqing University Cancer Hospital between July 2021 and April 2022 were randomly divided into an analgesia group (n = 50) and a control group (n = 50). The visual analog scale (VAS) scores at applicator placement-T1, CT-scan-T2, and removal -T3, self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) scores before brachytherapy, short-term clinical efficacy, and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups. Results: The VAS score of the analgesia group was significantly different at T1 (0 vs. 4.34±1.02, Conclusion: Analgesia can relieve pain, maintain physical and mental health, and improve outcomes and patient satisfaction rates for cervical cancer.
