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.

Abstract

backgroundExternal beam radiotherapy (EBRT) is an essential component of standard treatment for locally advanced cervical cancer. Moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy (MHRT) offers the potential to reduce treatment burden while compromising efficacy. Although various studies have investigated the safety and efficacy of MHRT, high-quality evidence remains inadequate. The lack of integration of modern radiotherapy techniques in many existing studies may lead to an overestimation of MHRT-associated toxicity.

methodsThis prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled, non-inferiority phase III trial aims to evaluate the non-inferiority of moderately hypofractionated online adaptive radiotherapy (oART) compared to conventional fractionated radiotherapy (CFRT). A total of 440 participants will be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the MHRT or CFRT group. Both groups will receive concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and a subset of eligible patients will undergo immunotherapy. The prescribed EBRT dose for the MHRT group will be 43.35 Gy in 17 fractions, with a simultaneous integrated boost of 54.4 Gy in 17 fractions to positive lymph nodes. The CFRT group will receive 45 Gy in 25 fractions, with a simultaneous integrated boost of 60 Gy in 25 fractions to positive lymph nodes. The primary endpoint will be 3-year progression-free survival. Secondary endpoints will include the complete response rate, tumor regression following EBRT, overall survival, locoregional progression-free survival, metastasis-free survival, cervical cancer-specific survival, acute and late toxicity, and quality of life. DISCUSSION: This randomized controlled trial will prospectively investigate whether MHRT is non-inferior to conventional fractionation in terms of efficacy and safety. Furthermore, the trial will evaluate the potential of moderately hypofractionated oART as a clinically viable alternative to CFRT for the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer.
