Investigating and Analyzing Prognostic Factors and Their Impact on Recurrent Cervical Cancers.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The incidence of cervical cancer in India is significantly high, and the average recurrence age is much less. The standard line of treatment consists of concurrent chemoradiotherapy. If a recurrence occurs, the treatment options or set of interventions are limited and suboptimal. Through this review, we have analyzed and classified the possible prognostic factors for cervical cancer into three broad categories, viz., (a) disease-related factors, (b) patient-related factors, and (c) treatment-related factors. Disease-related factors include tumor histology, tumor size, stage, parametrial involvement (PMI), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), and nodal status. Patient-related factors include overall treatment time (OTT), nutritional status, hemoglobin level, comorbidities, and age. Treatment-related factors include addition of chemotherapy, techniques of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), techniques of brachytherapy, and quality assurance for radiation therapy delivery. Out of these, extremely significant prognostic factors were tumor size and stage, nodal status, PMI, nutritional status, and addition of chemotherapy. Impactful factors include younger age, histology, LVSI, associated comorbidities, hemoglobin level, OTT, and patient-specific quality assurance. The factor that is not related or significant is the technique used for EBRT and brachytherapy delivery.
