Efficacy and prognosis of adjuvant treatment of endometrial cancer with medroxyprogesterone acetate COX regression analysis.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundEndometrial cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed gynecological cancers worldwide, and early-stage high-risk endometrial cancer has a poor prognosis. Adjuvant treatments after surgery, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, have been widely used in clinical practice to improve patient survival. Medroxyprogesterone acetate is a synthetic progestogen that has been reported to have potential anticancer effects in endometrial cancer. However, its efficacy, safety, and long-term prognostic benefits as an adjuvant treatment for endometrial cancer remain controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to observe the efficacy and prognostic impact of adjuvant medroxyprogesterone acetate treatment in patients with early-stage high-risk endometrial cancer and evaluate its safety.
aimTo observe the efficacy and prognosis of adjuvant treatment of endometrial cancer with medroxyprogesterone acetate and to evaluate its safety.
methodsWe collected the clinical data of 200 patients with early-stage high-risk endometrial cancer who were admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of our hospital from January 2018 to December 2022. The control group (100 patients) underwent conventional surgical treatment, and the study group (100 patients) was administered adjuvant medroxyprogesterone acetate tablets on top of the control group. The Kaplan-Meier curve analysis and log-rank test were performed to determine the possible factors influencing the 5-year cumulative survival rate in the patients. The Cox regression analysis was performed to identify the factors influencing the survival prognosis of endometrial cancer.
resultsAccording to the Cox regression analysis, age [hazard ratio (HR) = 4.636, 95% confidence interval (95%CI): 1.411-15.237], pathological type (HR = 6.943, 95%CI: 2.299-20.977), molecular typing (HR = 5.789, 95%CI: 3.305-10.141), and myometrial infiltration (HR = 5.768, 95%CI: 1.898-17.520) were factors influencing the prognosis of patients with early-stage high-risk endometrial cancer.
conclusionAge, pathological type, molecular typing, and myometrial infiltration were all relevant factors affecting the prognosis of early-stage high-risk endometrial cancer. The potential long-term prognostic benefit of adjuvant postoperative radiotherapy in patients with early-stage high-risk endometrial cancer is worthy of clinical consideration.
