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 cancer (EC) is the fifth most common cancer in women in developed countries. Clinical practice guidelines recommend patients should be followed-up every 3-6 months after primary treatment of EC. Evidence suggests that 40% to 80% of patients develop symptoms prior to being diagnosed with EC recurrence, however which symptoms are key remains unclear. We previously conducted a comprehensive literature review and developed a questionnaire on patient-reported symptoms associated with EC recurrence. This is a brief communication on a pilot prospective cohort study among 120 Australian patients who completed primary treatment for EC in the past three years. The study showed 47 of the 120 patients (39.2%) self-reported at least one symptom, four of whom (3.3%) were diagnosed with a recurrence. Back or lumbar pain (
