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

A woman in her mid-40s presented with post-coital bleeding and a squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix was identified. Initial investigation identified a primary fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET)-avid lesion and avid external iliac lymph nodes (stage IIIC1). She was planned for primary chemoradiation treatment with curative intent.Treatment included external beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy and weekly cisplatin. A follow-up FDG PET found a partial metabolic response within the cervix. It also identified interval development of FDG-avid lymph nodes in the periportal lymphatics in the abdomen, mediastinal and bilateral hilar lymph nodes, 8 vertebrae and iliac bones. Biopsy confirmation was attempted and hilar lymph nodes were suggestive of granulomatous inflammation.A final diagnosis of cisplatin-induced sarcoidosis-like reaction was made. No treatment was initiated. A follow-up FDG PET 3 months later found ongoing response of the primary lesion and complete resolution of the reactive sarcoidosis-like reaction.
