Venous Thromboembolism in Minimally Invasive Compared With Open Hysterectomy for Endometrial Cancer.
Article in Obstetrics and gynecology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
objectiveTo evaluate whether minimally invasive surgery for endometrial cancer is independently associated with a decreased odds of venous thromboembolism compared with open surgery.
methodsWe performed a secondary analysis cohort study of prospectively collected quality improvement data and examined patients undergoing hysterectomy for endometrial cancer from 2008 to 2013 recorded in the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Patients undergoing minimally invasive (laparoscopic or robotic) surgery were compared with those undergoing open surgery with respect to 30-day postoperative venous thromboembolism. Demographic and procedure variables were examined as potential confounders. Data regarding receipt of perioperative venous thromboembolism prophylaxis were not available. Bivariable tests and logistic regression were used for analysis.
resultsOf 9,948 patients who underwent hysterectomy for the treatment of endometrial cancer, 61.9% underwent minimally invasive surgery and 38.1% underwent open surgery. Patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery had a lower venous thromboembolism incidence (0.7%, n=47) than patients undergoing open surgery (2.2%, n=80) (P<.001). In a multivariate model adjusting for age, body mass index, race, operative time, Charlson comorbidity score, and surgical complexity, minimally invasive surgery remained associated with decreased odds of venous thromboembolism (adjusted odds ratio 0.36, 95% confidence interval 0.24-0.53) compared with open surgery.
conclusionMinimally invasive surgery for the treatment of endometrial cancer is independently associated with decreased odds of venous thromboembolism compared with open surgery.
