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 review provides a comprehensive update on recent evidence regarding gynecologic tumors associated with Lynch Syndrome (LS). Endometrial cancer (EC) and ovarian cancer (OC) are the first and second most common gynecologic malignancies in developed countries, respectively, and LS is estimated to be the hereditary cause in 3% of both EC and OC. Despite the increasing evidence on LS-related tumors, few studies have analyzed the outcomes of LS-related EC and OC stratified by mutational variant. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature and comparison between updated international guidelines, to help outline a shared pathway for the diagnosis, prevention, and management of LS. Through the widespread adoption of the immunohistochemistry-based Universal Screening, LS diagnosis and identification of mutational variants could be standardized and recognized by international guidelines as a feasible, reproducible, and cost-effective method. Furthermore, the development of a better understanding of LS and its mutational variants will support our ability to better tailor EC and OC management in terms of prophylactic surgery and systemic treatment in the light of the promising results shown by immunotherapy.
