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

Pelvic lymphadenectomy is a common surgical procedure in gynecologic oncology. Pelvic lymph node dissection is performed for all types of gynecological malignancies to evaluate the extent of a disease and facilitate further treatment planning. Most studies examine the lymphatic spread, the prognostic, and therapeutic significance of the lymph nodes. However, there are very few studies describing the possible surgical approaches and the anatomical variations. Moreover, a correlation between anatomical variations and lymphadenectomy in the pelvic region has never been discussed in medical literature. The present article aims to expand the limited knowledge of the anatomical variations in the pelvis. Anatomical variations of the ureters, pelvic vessels, and nerves and their significance to pelvic lymphadenectomy are summarized, explained, and illustrated. Surgeons should be familiar with pelvic anatomy and its variations to safely perform a pelvic lymphadenectomy. Learning the proper lymphadenectomy technique relating to anatomical landmarks and variations may decrease morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, accurate description and analysis of the majority of pelvic anatomical variations may impact not only gynecological surgery, but also spinal surgery, urology, and orthopedics.
