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

objectiveTo profile patient characteristics associated with and outcomes of ovarian conservation at the time of hysterectomy in young women with minimal-risk endometrial cancer.

methodsA population-based retrospective analysis of the Nationwide Inpatient Sample between 2007 and 2015 was performed. Women aged <50 with minimal-risk endometrial cancer who had ovarian conservation (n = 2314) were compared to those who had oophorectomy (n = 8191). A classification-tree model with recursive partitioning analysis was constructed to examine patterns of ovarian conservation. Propensity score matching was performed and length of stay and perioperative complications were compared. Two validation cohorts were also analyzed in a similar fashion (benign gynecologic disease and cervical cancer).

resultsThere were nine distinct patterns of patient characteristics identified, and ovarian conservation rates ranged from 11.7% (women aged 40-49 who underwent abdominal hysterectomy at an urban teaching hospital) to 60.5% (non-obese women aged <40 with median household income ≥$63,000) (absolute difference, 48.8%, 95% confidence interval 39.9-57.7; P < 0.001). After propensity score matching, ovarian conservation was significantly associated with a decreased likelihood of hospitalization >2 days (relative risk reduction, 16.7%, P < 0.001). Rates of surgical complications were not different between the two groups (8.2% versus 8.3%, P = 0.91). In the benign gynecologic disease and cervical cancer cohorts, ovarian conservation was also associated with decreased length of hospitalization (all, P < 0.05).

conclusionThere is substantial variability in the utilization of ovarian conservation in young women with minimal-risk endometrial cancer based on patient, surgical, and hospital factors. Our study suggests that guidelines for ovarian conservation in this population would be helpful for improving patient selection and rates of ovarian conservation.
