Comparison of Minimally Invasive and Open Surgery for the Treatment of Endometrial Cancer with a High Risk of Recurrence: A Propensity Score Matching Study in Korea and Taiwan.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThis study compared oncologic outcomes between minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and open surgery for the treatment of endometrial cancer with a high risk of recurrence.
methodsThis study included patients with endometrial cancer who underwent primary surgery at two tertiary centers in Korea and Taiwan. Low-grade advanced-stage endometrial cancer (endometrioid grade 1 or 2) or endometrial cancer with aggressive histology (endometrioid grade 3 or non-endometrioid) at any stage was considered to have a high risk of recurrence. We conducted 1:1 propensity score matching between the MIS and open surgery groups to adjust for the baseline characteristics.
resultsOf the total of 582 patients, 284 patients were included in analysis after matching. Compared with open surgery, MIS did not show a difference in disease-free survival [hazard ratio (HR) 1.09; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.67-1.77, P = 0.717] or overall survival (HR 0.67; 95% CI 0.36-1.24, P = 0.198). In the multivariate analysis, non-endometrioid histology, tumor size, tumor cytology, depth of invasion, and lymphovascular space invasion were risk factors for recurrence. There was no association between the surgical approach and either recurrence or mortality in the subgroup analysis according to stage and histology.
conclusionsMIS did not compromise survival outcomes for patients with endometrial cancer with a high risk of recurrence when compared with open surgery.
