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

backgroundThe degree to which uterine cancer metastatic to the ovary is misdiagnosed as synchronous stage I uterine and ovarian cancers is unclear. We sought to determine whether patients with synchronous cancers had mortality patterns similar to either stage IIIA uterine, stage I uterine, or stage I ovarian cancers alone.

methodsThe Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was used to compare mortality of patients with synchronous stage I uterine and stage I ovarian cancers versus those with stage IIIA uterine, stage I uterine, or stage I ovarian cancers alone. We calculated age-adjusted mortality hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) accounting for calendar year and grade, adjuvant treatment, grade 1 endometrioid cancers, grade 3 endometrioid cancers, and stage IA cancers.

resultsAmong the 9,321 patients, we observed lower age-adjusted mortality in patients with stage I synchronous cancers (n = 937) compared to those with stage IIIA uterine (n = 531; HR, 0.45 95% CI, 0.35-0.58), stage I uterine (n = 6,919; HR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.60-0.91), and stage I ovarian cancers (n = 934; HR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.41-0.67). Results were similar after taking into account diagnosis year and grade, and limiting to those receiving adjuvant therapy, grade 1 or grade 3 endometrioid cancers, or stage IA cancers.

conclusionsWe observed lower mortality for synchronous stage I uterine and ovarian cancers, which was not explained by younger age, earlier stage, lower grade, histology type, or adjuvant therapy. IMPACT: The possible misdiagnosis associated with clinicopathologic of synchronous uterine and ovarian cancers does not appear to worsen survival on a population level.
