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

purposeWe investigated the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components and erythrocyte parameters such as red blood cell count (RBC) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels, and their association with the risk of deep myometrial invasion in endometrioid endometrial carcinoma (EEC). PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 473 women diagnosed with EEC between January 2012 and December 2018 were included in the study. MetS was diagnosed using a modified version of the Chinese Diabetes Society 2004 criteria. Demographic and clinical characteristics were stratified by MetS and compared. Logistic regression analyses were performed to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) of myometrial invasion.

resultsThe prevalence of MetS was 18.8% (89/473). RBC and Hb levels were significantly higher in EEC patients with MetS. RBC and Hb values increased linearly with the number of MetS components. The OR of the MetS risk increased across the RBC quartiles (OR=2.212, 95% confidence interval [Cl]=1.125-4.350, P˂0.05). Among EEC patients with MetS, the OR of deep myometrial invasion increased with the decrease of the RBC quartiles (P=0.037). Similarly, in EEC patients with obesity and hyperglycemia or with ≥2 MetS criteria, the lowest RBC level (Q1) was a risk factor for deep myometrial invasion compared with the reference RBC group (Q4, P˂0.05). However, this trend was not evident in EEC patients without MetS and its components.

conclusionEEC with MetS and its components had higher RBC and Hb levels. The association between the erythrocyte parameters and myometrial invasion differed with MetS. RBC was identified as a risk factor of myometrial invasion in EEC patients with MetS and its components.
