Review in Current oncology reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Management of early endometrial cancer is contentious these days with little agreement between oncologists as well as across MDTs or tumour boards and indeed across countries. This is because of the state of knowledge with regards to risk factors in early endometrial cancer; although we recognise risk factors affect outcome, we haven't yet been able to demonstrate that our treatments make a significant difference. We have reviewed available literature on LVSI and are able to demonstrate that it is an independent risk factor for nodal metastasis as well as distant recurrence. We need a randomised trial integrating grade and LVSI and testing therapeutic options of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, it is unlikely to see the light of day. Therefore, we are left with this knowledge of prognostic factors and it is our duty to integrate this into our decision-making during our multidisciplinary team meetings and make decisions tailored to individual patient circumstances.
