Figure 1. Odds ratios for local control rates in nitroimidazole cervix trials. Left hand columns represent author (year of publication), number of patients, odds ratio (OR), lower and upper 95% confidence limits (95% CI). Odds ratios of less than one suggest improvement of local control rates with the addition of a nitroimidazole.

Figure 2. Odds ratios for survival rates in nitroimidazole cervix trials. Left hand columns represent author (year of publication), number of patients, odds ratio (OR), lower and upper 95% confidence limits (95% CI). Odds ratios of less than one suggest improvement of overall survival rates with the addition of a nitroimidazole.
