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

backgroundFor patients with high-risk factors such as pelvic lymph node metastasis, positive surgical margins, or parametrial involvement, concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with whole-pelvic radiotherapy significantly improves survival outcomes. Hypofractionated radiation therapy, which delivers higher radiation doses over fewer sessions, enhances tumor control but raises concerns about increased normal tissue toxicity. A recent Korean phase II study (POHIM-CCRT) evaluated the safety of hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), delivering 40 Gy in 16 fractions with weekly cisplatin following radical surgery. The results showed minimal acute toxicity. Based on these findings, the present study was designed to assess the oncologic efficacy of hypofractionated CCRT compared to conventional treatment strategies in high-risk cervical cancer patients after radical surgery.

methodsThe POHIM-P3 trial is a phase 3, randomized, multicenter study designed for women with cervical cancer requiring adjuvant CCRT after radical hysterectomy. Participants in the experimental arm receive hypofractionated IMRT to whole pelvis, delivering a total dose of 40 Gy in 16 fractions, and the control arm receive conventional radiotherapy with a total dose of 45-50.4 Gy in 25-28 fractions in combination with weekly cisplatin. The primary endpoint of the study is the 3-year disease-free survival and the secondary endpoints included acute and late side-effects, local control rates, and overall survival rates.
