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

purposeTo analyze the current management and use of fertility preservation (FP) treatments among different gynecologic oncology centers in Spain

methodsFrom March to April 2019, a transversal study was conducted using a national online survey to consultants registered in the section of Gynecologic Oncology of the Spanish Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The survey contained 30 questions that assessed the perceptions and attitudes towards fertility-sparing strategies as well as its management in each participating center.

resultsA total of 51 responders from 12 out of 17 geographical regions of Spain answered the survey. According to 35 responders (68.63%), the age limit for offering FP was 40 years. In most of the centers, an ovarian reserve study is carried out prior to a FP procedure (34 responders, 66.67%). In cervical cancer size, limit for offering trachelectomy is 2 cm (40 responders, 78.43%), with LVSI as an exclusion factor for 26 (51%). Twenty-four (48.98%) responders reported that FP only in ovarian cancer stages IA, 12 (24.49%) also in stages IB, and an additional 13 (26.53%) up to stages IC. Most responders perform FP only in the absence of myometrial infiltration (30, 58.82%) in patients with g1-g2 endometrial cancer.

conclusionsThe performance of professionals at the national level is uneven, demonstrating the need for referral centers to ensure optimal management. International guidelines should be more widely extended throughout Spain to homogenize the treatment of young oncology patients who wish to have children.
