Predictors of uncommon location of sentinel nodes in endometrial and cervical cancers.

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.
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
objectiveSentinel node mapping is widely used in the treatment of gynecologic cancers. The current study aimed to identify predictors of uncommon sentinel lymph node (SLN) locations.
methodsThe current study included women who were operated for endometrial or cervical cancer with attempted sentinel lymph node mapping during surgical staging. Data were collected from electronic charts. The pelvis and the external ilia and obturator basins were common node locations. Para-aortic, pre-sacral, common iliac, internal iliac, and parametrial nodes were considered uncommon locations. We conducted analyses stratified according to common, uncommon, and very uncommon (
resultsA total of 304 women were enrolled in the current study; 15.8% had SLN in uncommon locations and 4.3% had very uncommon node locations. Body mass index (BMI) was a negative predictor for uncommon SLN locations (OR 0.88, p = 0.03). The use of either indocyanine green (ICG) or Tc
conclusionsBMI, tracer type, surgical year, and positive nodes were independent predictors for uncommon SLN locations. These findings suggest that surgical effort, technique and experience may result in better identification of uncommon SLN locations.
