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
Objective: Cervical cancer is a common malignant tumor in the female reproductive system, surgery is the main radical treatment methods. Lymphedema, as a postoperative complication of cervical cancer, affects the prognosis of patients. Identifying the risk factors for lymphedema after surgery is of great clinical significance for reducing its incidence. This study aims to systematically analyze the related risk factors for lymphedema after cervical cancer surgery. Methods: Clinical medical data of 701 cervical cancer patients at Meizhou People's Hospital from December 2018 to December 2023 were collected, including age, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, diabetes mellitus, induced abortion, menopause, clinical stage, number of dissected lymph nodes, lymph node metastasis, postoperative complications, postoperative chemotherapy, postoperative radiotherapy, postoperative living habits, and lymphedema. The relationship between lymphedema and clinical features in cervical cancer was analyzed. Results: A total of 220 (31.4%) patients developed lymphedema and 481 (68.6%) did not. The cervical cancer patients with lymphedema had higher proportions of advanced age, hypertension, menopause, number of dissected lymph nodes≥30, postoperative radiotherapy, and sitting quietly> 1 hour every day than patients without lymphedema. Logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age (odds ratio (OR): 2.713, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.560-4.717, Conclusion: Advanced age, menopause, pelvic lymph nodes plus para-aortic lymph nodes plus inguinal lymph nodes were dissected, number of dissected lymph nodes, postoperative complications, postoperative radiotherapy, and sitting quietly every day were independently associated with lymphedema in cervical cancer patients.
