The association of the decline in glomerular filtration rate with aggressive endometrial cancers.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeMost site-specific cancer incidence is increased with the decrease of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). We analyzed endometrial cancers depending on different type, staging, and histology grades. We hypothesized that patients with lower GFR levels have an increased risk for higher staging and histology grades of endometrial cancers.
methodsPatients were divided into two subgroups regarding GFR; the first group with GFR < 60 ml/min and the second group with GFR > 60 ml/min and regarding different histology grades and cancer stages. Cancers were also divided by stages (1-4). Patients were followed up during 1 year through regular controls in the outpatient clinic and during that time cancer recurrence was recorded.
resultsGFR was the strongest predictor for higher cancer histology grade and higher cancer staging. Patients with reduced GFR had OR for higher histology grade and higher staging of 1.06 and 1.06. Traditional risk factors for endometrial cancer development were not associated with higher histology grade or higher cancer staging.
conclusionHigher staging and histology grades in patients with endometrial cancers are associated with reduced GFR. Patients with mild-to-moderate CKD had significantly higher number of cancers with higher histology grades and higher stages than patients with mild or normal GFR category. Decline in GFR was independently associated with more aggressive cancers without other well-known risk factors for endometrial cancer development like age, menopause, diabetes, and obesity.
