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

This retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the factors related to endometrial cancer (EC) prognosis and survival in eastern Taiwan. The study involved 48 patients diagnosed with EC who underwent hysterectomy-based surgery at Hualien Tzu Chi hospital between January 2011 and June 2021. The patients’ medical history and laboratory examination results were reviewed. Progression-free survival and overall survival were determined. Categorical variables were analyzed using the chi-square test, and continuous variables were analyzed using the independent t-test. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to predict diagnostic value. Factors associated with cancer mortality were identified via Cox regression analysis (p < 0.05). Patients were divided into the death (n = 7) and survival (n = 41) groups. The median age of the patients was 56 years (range: 31−71 years). The median observation period was 33.29 months. Diabetes mellitus (DM) and monocyte/lymphocyte ratio (MLR) > 0.23886 were significantly associated with cancer mortality (p = 0.024 and p = 0.028, respectively). MLR-low and MLR-high groups exhibited 5-year overall survival rates of 96% and 60%, respectively, and 5-year progression-free survival rates of 96% and 41%, respectively. DM and MLR of >0.2386 were suggested to be associated with cancer death, poor overall survival, and progression-free survival.
