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

backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the frequency of Lynch syndrome-associated clinicopathologic and molecular characteristics in Lynch syndrome gynecologic cancers.

methodsA systematic literature search was conducted in the literature databases (Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, and Clinicaltrials.gov) to identify the studies describing clinicopathologic characteristics, MMR protein immunohistochemistry and/or MSI, MLH1 methylation, and genetic testing in Lynch syndrome gynecologic cancer patients.

resultsA total of 24 of the evaluated studies that met the inclusion criteria were identified. A clinicopathological examination confirmed 242 endometrial cancer, 17 clear cells endometrial cancer, 35 serous endometrial cancer, 30 mixed and 21 other endometrial cancer. Thus, a total of 345 endometrial cancer was confirmed from the screening of 1,317 gynaecological cancer. However, the morphological analysis demonstrated 236 patients with endometrial cancer associated with Lynch syndrome. The frequency of confirmed LS with endometrial cancer was 68.40%. At diagnosis, the median age was 49.94±4.34 years, and the average BMI was 26.07±3.77 kg/m DISCUSSION: Lynch syndrome-associated clinicopathologic and molecular characteristics occur significantly in Lynch syndrome gynecologic cancers and may improve risk stratification and triaging of gynecologic cancers for genetic testing.
