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

backgroundEndometrial cancer is the fourth most frequent gynecological cancer and the most frequent type of uterine cancer. There is an increase in the incidence and mortality of uterine cancers in the past few decades, and there are no well-established screening programs for endometrial cancer currently. Most endometrial cancers arise through the interplay of familial, genetic, and lifestyle factors. Although a number of genetic factors modify endometrial cancer susceptibility, they are not of standard use in the clinical assessment of prognosis. We conducted a comprehensive systematic literature review to provide an overview of the relationship between genetic factors and risk for endometrial cancer.

methodsMEDLINE and EMBASE databases were searched for studies between January 2010 to March 2020 reporting the genes associated with endometrial cancer.

resultsThrough the selection process, we retrieved 186 studies comprising 329 genes identified using several molecular methodologies in all human chromosomes and in mitochondrial DNA. Endometrial cancer exhibits a molecular complexity and heterogeneity coherent with its clinical and histologic variability. Improved characterization of molecular alterations of each histological type provides relevant information about the prognosis and potential response to new therapies.

conclusionsThe current challenge is the integration of clinicopathologic and molecular factors to improve the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of endometrial cancer.
