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: The rising incidence of cervical cancer among individuals with diabetes is a matter of significant concern, presenting profound implications for the health status and quality of life worldwide. In patients diagnosed with early-stage cervical cancer, the extent of lymph node involvement has emerged as a critical prognostic factor influencing recurrence risk and survival outcomes. Therefore, the precise prediction of pelvic lymph node metastasis is essential for an accurate assessment of prognosis. The preoperative identification of lymph node metastasis constitutes a pivotal element in the formulation of personalized treatment strategies. It has been demonstrated that inflammatory markers such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, and fibrinogen significantly contribute to cancer progression and prognostic evaluations. In this regard, we propose the fibrinogen-to-neutrophil ratio (FNR) as an innovative and promising biomarker for evaluating pelvic lymph node metastasis in cervical cancer patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: The study was conducted on 141 patients diagnosed with cervical cancer and concomitant type 2 diabetes, who were treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University. The patients were randomly divided into a training set (n=98) and a validation set (n=43), with a ratio of 7:3. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors, and a prognostic model was established based on these findings. The model's effectiveness was evaluated. Results: A nomogram that integrates multiple factors, including FNR, triglycerides, maximum diameter, and total protein, demonstrates superior potential in predicting pelvic lymph node metastasis in patients with type 2 diabetes and cervical cancer, compared to the use of a single biomarker. Conclusion: As a comprehensive biomarker, FNR shows significant potential in offering a more thorough and reliable approach for identifying cervical cancer patients with diabetes who are at an elevated risk of lymph node metastasis.
