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

BACKGROUND/

aimAlthough very rare tumors, uterine sarcomas are extremely aggressive gynecologic malignancies being responsible for a significant number of gynecological cancer-related deaths. However, in such cases, it seems that cytoreductive surgery might increase the lifespan if debulking to no residual disease is achieved. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe present a case series of three patients diagnosed with endometrial stromal sarcomas in which urinary tract resections were needed in order to maximize the debulking effort.

resultsIn all cases total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy was performed; in the meantime, urinary tract resection was needed due to the local extension of the neoplastic disease and consisted of unilateral ureteral resection followed by reimplantation through ureteroneocystostomy in one case, bilateral ureteral resection en bloc with partial cystectomy and ureteral reimplantation in one case and total cystectomy with bilateral ureterectomy followed by cutaneous ostomy in the third case. Moreover, one case also necessitated rectosigmoidian resection followed by colorectal anastomosis. In all cases no residual disease was encountered at the end of the debulking surgery.

conclusionUrinary tract resections might be needed in order to maximize the debulking effort in patients presenting endometrial stromal sarcomas.
