Article in Asia-Pacific journal of oncology nursing, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06873984 (Compression Stockings for Preventing Lower Limb Lymphedema in Women Treated for Gynecological Malignancies), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to identify the predictors of quality of life (QoL) related to lower limb lymphedema among women who had undergone gynecological cancer surgery. Additionally, the association between fatigue and the QoL was examined. Methods: A cross-sectional design with a convenience sample was adopted. Participants included 200 women with lymphadenectomy following gynecological cancer surgery. Demographic data, QoL related to lower limb lymphedema, and fatigue symptoms were collected. Results: Of the 200 participants, 60 percent ( Conclusions: More than half of the women with gynecological cancer requiring lymphadenectomy experienced an impact on QoL related to lower limb lymphedema. Effective interventions are warranted to improve the QoL related to lower limb lymphedema among women with gynecological cancer, particularly those who present with fatigue.
