Weight Change Pattern and Survival Outcome of Women with Endometrial Cancer.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 4 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to determine the association between weight change patterns and survival outcomes of women with endometrial cancer.
methodsThis retrospective study examined surgically-staged endometrial cancer cases with available weight information between 1999 and 2013 (n = 665). Proportional body mass index (delta-BMI) change at 6 months, 1 and 2 years after hysterectomy was compared with baseline BMI and correlated to patient demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment type, and disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS).
resultsMean BMI was 35.6, and 69 % of cases were obese. At 6 months, 1 and 2 years after surgery, 39.1, 51.6, and 57.0 % of the study population, respectively, gained weight compared with pre-treatment baseline. In univariate analysis, 6-month delta-BMI change was significantly associated with DFS and OS, demonstrating bidirectional effects (both p < 0.001): 5-year rates, ≥15.0 % delta-BMI loss (33.5 and 59.1 %), 7.5-14.9 % loss (67.3 and 70.0 %), <7.5 % loss (87.8 and 95.7 %), <7.5 % gain (87.2 and 90.3 %), 7.5-14.9 % gain (64.6 and 67.6 %), and ≥15.0 % gain (32.5 and 66.7 %). In multivariable analysis controlling for age, ethnicity, baseline BMI, histology, grade, stage, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, 6-month delta-BMI change remained an independent prognostic factor for DFS and OS (all p < 0.05): adjusted hazard ratios, ≥15 % delta-BMI loss (3.35 and 5.39), 7.5-14.9 % loss (2.35 and 4.19), 7.5-14.9 % gain (2.58 and 3.33), and ≥15.0 % gain (2.50 and 3.45) compared with <7.5 % loss. Similar findings were observed at a 1-year time point (p < 0.05). Baseline BMI was not associated with survival outcome (p > 0.05).
conclusionOur results demonstrated that endometrial cancer patients continued to gain weight after hysterectomy, and post-treatment weight change had bidirectional effects on survival outcome.
