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

Pelvic radiotherapy for gynecologic malignancies damages the primary active bone marrow reservoir, inducing hematologic toxicity exacerbated by chemotherapy. Optimizing pelvic bone marrow dose-volume constraints is critical to mitigate myelosuppression and maintain treatment efficacy. The present retrospective cohort study analyzed patients with gynecological cancer (n = 61) undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy between August 2021 and August 2024. Associations between pelvic bone marrow (PBM) dose-volume parameters and acute hematologic toxicity (AHT) were systematically evaluated. All patients received intensity-modulated radiotherapy encompassing pelvic lymph node regions, with weekly complete blood count monitoring during and for 2 weeks after treatment. The overall incidence of AHT was 70.5% (43/61), with grade ≥ 2 and ≥ 3 AHT occurring in 63.9% (39/61) and 30.0% (14/61) of patients, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified PBM-V15 as an independent predictor of grade ≥ 2 AHT [odds ratio (OR), 2.653; 95% CI, 1.054-6.682; P = 0.038], with an optimal cutoff threshold of 80.44% [area under the curve (AUC), 0.854]. Notably, a lower PBM (LPBM)-V5 specifically predicted grade ≥ 3 AHT (OR, 1.425; 95% CI, 1.022-1.987; P = 0.037), with a threshold of 91.25% (AUC, 0.695). Implementing bone marrow-sparing strategies by restricting PBM-V15 to <80.44% significantly reduced the grade ≥ 2 AHT risk, while a stringent LPBM-V5 constraint (< 91.25%) was pivotal for preventing severe (grade ≥ 3) AHT. These dose-volume parameters should be incorporated into optimization protocols for pelvic radiotherapy in gynecological malignancies.
