Risk of Pelvic Insufficiency Fractures in Cervical Cancer Survivors: Using the National Claim Database.
Article in Journal of Korean medical science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundCervical cancer, one of the most prevalent cancers among women worldwidely, has seen improved survival rates due to advancements in pelvic radiation therapy (RT). Several risk factors for pelvic insufficiency fracture (PIF) have been reported in patients with cervical cancer. This study aimed to estimate the incidence of PIFs in patients with cervical cancer and assess the potential risk factors for PIF using a national claim database.
methodsA total of 13,480 cervical cancer patients were identified during 2007 to 2016 from linkage between the Korea National Health Insurance Service and Korea Central Cancer Registry. Patients were identified and divided into PIF and non-PIF groups. The incidence of PIFs was estimated and risk factors for PIFs, including age, type of medical institution, residential area, insurance type, Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results summarized stage, RT and comorbidities, were assessed using multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis.
resultsIn a cohort of 13,480 patients diagnosed with cervical cancer, PIF occurred in 134 (1.0%). Among the variables, older age (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.063; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.047-1.079;
conclusionThe incidence of PIFs in cervical cancer survivors was 1.0% in this national claim database study and it demonstrated that RT and older age were significantly associated with an increased risk of PIF. Our findings suggest that clinicians should be aware of the risk of PIF, especially in older patients who underwent RT.
