Effect of Pelvic Lymphadenectomy on Survival in Patients with Low-Risk Early-Stage Endometrial Cancer Diagnosed Intraoperatively Using Frozen Tissue Sections: A Retrospective Analysis.

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
purposeTo determine whether pelvic lymphadenectomy improved survival in patients diagnosed with low-risk early-stage endometrial cancer by intraoperative pathology.
methodsThis retrospective analysis included 238 patients at our hospital.
resultsThe lymphadenectomy and non-lymphadenectomy groups contained 121 and 117 patients, respectively. In both groups, more than half the patients had tumor size ≥2 cm, and most had myometrial invasion <50%, stage Ia disease and no lymphovascular space invasion. Age, tumor size, myometrial invasion, surgical-pathologic stage and postoperative adjuvant therapy use were comparable between groups. The non-lymphadenectomy group had more patients treated laparoscopically (36.8% vs 10.7%;
conclusionPelvic lymphadenectomy may not be necessary in patients with an intraoperative diagnosis of low-risk endometrial cancer.
