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 evaluate the outcomes and recurrence patterns and define the parameters that can help to predict high-risk patients among our 20-year clinical early-stage IB-IIA cervical cancer patients treated with traditional (non-nerve sparing) radical surgery.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 158 patients who had undergone traditional (non-nerve sparing) radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection ± paraaortic lymph node dissection with clinical early-stage IB-IIA cervical cancer between January 2005 and July 2024 in our referral center. Descriptive statistics, survival analyses, and recurrence sites were evaluated. Furthermore, we researched independent risk factors for parametrial involvement and lymph node metastasis in these patients.

resultsThe median follow-up time was 112 (1-288) months. The 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival rates in this study were 84% and 89%, respectively. There were two (1.2%) patients with local recurrence, four (2.4%) with regional, and seven (4.4%) patients with distant recurrence. According to multivariate logistic regression analyses, the only independent risk factor for regional and distant recurrences was lymph node metastasis.

conclusionTraditional (non-nerve sparing) radical surgery appears to be safe and necessary to improve local control and decrease the local recurrence rate in clinical early-stage IB-IIA cervical cancer patients. We observed that lymph node metastasis was the only independent risk factor for regional and distant recurrences. However, there was no independent risk factor for local recurrence in patients with clinical stage IB-IIA cervical cancer.
