The role of omentectomy in the surgical treatment of uterine serous carcinoma.
Article in European journal of obstetrics & gynecology and reproductive biology: X, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 aims of this study were to assess the role of omentectomy in the staging of uterine serous carcinoma (USC) and to evaluate its impact on patient outcomes. STUDY
designPatients diagnosed with USC at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University of China were retrospectively reviewed. The clinicopathological characteristics and survival data of 187 patients were analyzed. Risk factors for omental metastasis were evaluated. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to compare survival status and the presence of omental metastasis.
resultsWe found that 35 of 187 patients (18.7%) had omental metastases. Omental metastasis was significantly associated with adnexal involvement (40.0% vs 19.1%, P = 0.008, OR 2.828, 95% CI 1.286-6.218). Multivariate analysis showed that in addition to lymph node metastases and suboptimal surgery, omental metastasis in USC remained an independent predictor of decreased PFS and OS (PFS, HR 1.48, 95% CI 1.14-4.63, P = 0.024; OS, HR 1.39, 95% CI 1.04-3.60, P = 0.043).
conclusionsThe incidence of omental metastasis is not low in patients with USC. Visual assessment and omental biopsy may be insufficient for recognizing occult metastases. Omentectomy should be part of the staging surgery in USC patients because it provides additional information about survival. Prospective studies are needed to confirm these results.
