Comparison of laparoscopy and laparotomy for management of endometrial carcinoma: a prospective randomized study with 11-year experience.
Trial report in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeWe compared laparoscopic approach with the conventional laparotomy approach for the treatment of patients with endometrial carcinoma in developing country.
methodsTwo hundred and seventy-two patients with endometrial carcinoma were enrolled in a prospective randomized trial and treated with laparoscopic or laparotomy approach.
resultsOne hundred and fifty-one patients were treated by laparoscopy, while one hundred and twenty-one patients were treated by laparotomy. The median operative time was 211 min in the laparoscopy group and 231 min in the laparotomy group (P > 0.05). The median blood loss was 86 ml in the laparoscopy group and 419 ml in the laparotomy group (P < 0.05). The median length of hospital stay was 3 days in the laparoscopy group and 6 days in the laparotomy group (P < 0.05). Pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed in all the patients. Para-aortic lymphadenectomy was performed in 15 % of the laparoscopy and 31.4 % of laparotomy group (P < 0.05). The overall survival and 5-year survival rate for the TLH were 94 and 96 % compared with 90.1 and 91 % in the TAH, respectively (P > 0.05).
conclusionsLaparoscopic surgery is a safe and reliable alternative to laparotomy in the management of endometrial carcinoma patients, with significantly reduced hospital stay and postoperative complications; however, it does not seem to improve the overall survival and 5-year survival rate, although multicenter randomized trials are required to evaluate the overall oncologic outcomes of this procedure.
