Post treatment lower limb lymphedema in carcinoma cervix.
Article in Ecancermedicalscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: To determine the incidence of post-treatment lower limb lymphedema in cases of carcinoma cervix and its correlation with demographic and treatment-related factors. Method: A retrospective observational study conducted over a duration of 2 years. Inclusion criteria: Patients with carcinoma cervix who have completed their primary treatment, which included surgery followed by radiotherapy (RT) or concurrent chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) or CCRT + Brachytherapy. All patients of carcinoma cervix were screened in the OPD during 3-monthly follow-ups post-completion of their treatment. Results: In our study, we analysed 100 patients, of whom 15 developed lymphedema. The odds ratio was greater than 1 for external beam RT (OR-1.03), age of the patient (OR- 1.04) and stage of the disease (OR- 1.4). Thus, an association was found between lymphedema and the age of the patient, stage of the disease and external beam RT. No association was found between lymphedema and surgery or body mass index (BMI) of the patient. Conclusion: Our study found an association between lower extremity lymphedema post-treatment in cervical cancer with age, International federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics stage and method of treatment. However, BMI was not associated with lower limb lymphedema post-treatment.
