Quality of life in endometrial cancer survivors: single institution experience in Slovakia.
Article in Health and quality of life outcomes, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTo evaluate the association between body mass index (BMI) and quality of life among endometrial cancer survivors.
methodsWomen diagnosed with endometrioid endometrial cancer at the Slovakian university hospital between January 2010 and December 2018 were identified. Three hundred ninety women diagnosed with endometrial cancer were invited to participate. Quality of life was measured using the EORTC (European Organisation for Reseach and Treatment of Cancer) quality of life questionnaires (QLQ-C30 and QLQ-EN24). Univariate and multiple regression analyses were used to determine associations between BMI and quality-of-life outcome variables. T-test was used to determine differences between groups.
results337 (95.2%) women completed the questionnaire. 131 (38.8%) were pre-obese, 111 (32.9%) were class I and II obese and 29 (8.6%) were class III obese. Women with highher BMI experienced poorer physical, emotional and social functioning compared to normal weignt and pre-obese pacients (p < 0.05). Class I-III obese women had significantly more lymphoedema (59% v. 41%, p = 0.048) and dyspnea (73% v. 27%, p = 0.029), and experienced more fatigue (68% v, 32%, p = 0.036) and pain (65% v. 35%, p = 0.041).
conclusionsClass I-III obesity was associated with poorer quality of life in endometrial cancer survivors. Increasing BMI was inversely associated with QoL. Pre-obese and obese patients should be informed about greater incidence of pain, fatigue and dyspnea. Lifestyle changes (e.g., dietary interventions, physical activity) might reduce obesity and improve quality of life among endometrial cancer survivors.
