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

purposeThe present study aimed to identify coagulation markers with prognostic value in the setting of surgically treated endometrial cancer. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 942 patients with endometrial cancer who underwent surgery were included in the study. The preoperative prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time activity (PTA), fibrinogen and D-dimer values were analyzed to determine their potential associations with clinicopathological characteristics. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, p-values were calculated using the log-rank text, and the prognostic factors were evaluated using Cox's proportional hazards regression model.

resultsThe preoperative plasma fibrinogen and D-dimer concentrations were significantly different among patients with different ages, pre/post-menopausal status, International Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology Association (FIGO) stage, tumor grade, depth of myometrial invasion, histological type and lymphatic vessel space invasion. Fibrinogen level was also asscoiated with body mass index (BMI) and comorbidities, and D-dimer level was asscoiated with preoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy. APTT was different in patients in pre/post-menopausal status and with or without comorbidities. PTA was asscoiated with BMI and lymphovascular invasion. TT was different between different age groups, different menopause status groups, as well as different FIGO stage groups. A multivariate analysis identified high fibrinogen levels (>3.25 g/L) as an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (HR=1.807; 95% CI=1.003-3.253; p=0.049).

conclusionHigh pretreatment fibrinogen levels are associated with poor overall survival and represent a valuable independent prognostic factor in patients with endometrial cancer. PT, aPTT, TT, PTA and D-dimer levels cannot be used as independent prognostic factors for endometrial cancer.
