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

backgroundLaparoscopic management of endometrial cancer is beneficial in view of decreased operative morbidity and post-operative recovery. In the case of early gynaecological malignancies, it is a safe and feasible mode of surgery.

methodsA prospective study was conducted in our tertiary centre in the period January 2017-December 2019. The study included 51 patients diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma. Demographic details and operative findings have been recorded.

resultsThe mean age was 55.47 years; 64.7% were post-menopausal. 86.2% had stage IA disease. All patients underwent laparoscopic staging. The mean operative time was 115 min, estimated blood loss was 82.5 ml, pelvic nodal yield was 13.53, and para-aortic nodes were 20.78. There were no conversions to laparotomy or any intra-operative complications, and none of the patients had recurrence. During post-operative follow-up, 2 patients had lymphocyst, 1 had chylous ascites and 1 had port site hernia. Average hospital stay was 3 days.

conclusionIn our study, we found that laparoscopic management of endometrial cancer is less morbid and has better post-operative recovery.
