Blood Vessel Invasion in Endometrial Cancer Is One of the Mechanisms of Spread to the Cervix.

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
To evaluate the association between type of invaded vessels (blood or lymphatic) and cervical involvement in endometrial cancer (EC). Pathological slides of 93 patients with EC who had vascular space invasion in hematoxylin-eosin staining underwent immunohistochemical assay with CD31 and podoplanin. CD31 and podoplanin were used to identify blood and lymphatic invaded vessels, respectively. Cervical stromal invasion (CSI) was determined in 21 (30%) patients. The rate of CD31-positivity was significantly higher in patients with CSI than without (76.2 and 34.7%, p = 0.001; respectively). Podoplanin-positivity was determined in 47.6 and 81.6% of patients with and without CSI, respectively (p = 0.005). Age, myometrial invasion and the combination of CD31-positivity with podoplanin-negativity were found as independent predictors for CSI. Blood vessel invasion is an important factor for CSI in EC. Blood vessel invasion rather than lymphatic vessel invasion is one of the predominant ways by which EC spreads to the cervix.
