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

Endometrial carcinoma is one of the most common gynaecologic malignancies in the western society. Treatment of recurrent disease became more refined, with the study of molecular and hormonal receptors playing a central role. A 76-year-old caucasian woman presented to the emergency department with growing tiredness, and melaena. Past medical history included an endometrioid adenocarcinoma. The patient had undergone a hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy and was disease-free for 2 years. The endoscopy revealed an ulcerated lesion involving the second and third portions of the duodenum. Histopathologic examination confirmed a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of endometrial origin. She started palliative chemotherapy, remaining with adequate symptomatic control. Endometrial cancer recurrence typically occurs locally. The liver is the intra-abdominal organ most commonly involved. There are scarce reports of duodenal metastasis of malignancies originated in distant organs. The duodenum remains an uncommon metastization site and is rarely associated with endometrial cancer.
