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

Hysterectomy is an important surgical procedure in the care of women with pelvic organ prolapse or lower urinary tract malignancy. Therefore, hysterectomy can be a commonly performed surgical procedure in the urologist's practice. Obtaining a thorough gynecologic history is necessary prior to performing a hysterectomy and prolapse repair. Specifically, reviewing prior cervical cancer screening, risk factors for uterine malignancy, and the role of prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy are important steps of the reconstructive surgical planning process. In women with lower urinary tract malignancy, hysterectomy is included in the classic technique of radical cystectomy. However, preliminary research has begun to question whether or not the uterus can be spared in some cases. In the article, we review the literature on hysterectomy as it pertains to the field of urology.
