Surgical management of a congenital genital tract abnormality in a patient with Lynch syndrome.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Lynch syndrome (LS), also known as hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, is an inherited cancer syndrome which increases the risk of developing colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer. Individuals with LS have an increased risk of cancers of the ovary, urinary tract, stomach, small intestine, pancreas, biliary tract, brain and skin. Cancer risk reduction is recommended through chemoprevention (aspirin), surveillance (colonoscopy, assessment of the endometrium and ovaries via USS, aspiration biopsy and tumour marker monitoring; CA125) or risk reduction surgery, that is, total hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.This is a case of a nulliparous woman in her early 30s with LS and a congenital genital tract malformation. She had a unicornuate (left) uterus and a vestigial (right) uterine horn. There was an inability to obtain a conclusive set of endometrial biopsies in this patient due to the nature of the patient's congenital uterine abnormality. In this case, surgery was recommended to excise the vestigial horn and fallopian tube in order to optimise surveillance and fertility.
