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

Prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (PBSO) is regularly performed when patients have a high risk of developing ovarian cancer (i.e. a personal or family history). Most commonly, PBSO is performed in pre-menopausal women who have completed childbearing. The major risk of uterine preservation is future development of endometrial cancer. We report two cases that highlight such occurrences in women who believed that the uterus was important for sexual function. The misunderstanding that the uterus is important for sexual satisfaction should be thoroughly discussed and rectified prior to initial surgery. This is especially important in patients who may eventually require hormone replacement therapy.
