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

objectiveTo explore the significance of intraoperative sentinel lymph node (SLN) identification in endometrial cancer.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 56 patients with intraoperative SLN recognition (group A) and 50 patients without intraoperative SLN recognition (group B). SLN and pelvic abdominal lymph node distribution, SLN recognition rate, SLN recognition effect, mortality, the incidence of adverse events, and cumulative survival rate were statistically analyzed.

resultsSLN were identified and removed in 41 of the 56 patients, with a recognition rate of 82.14% (46/56). The sensitivity of SLN was 83.72%, the specificity was 84.62%, and the negative predictive value was 61.11%. There were 15 patients with no SLN metastasis found in the pathological examination during the operation, among which two patients with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma and clinical stage II patients underwent immunohistochemical staining, and three patients showed SLN micro-metastasis but no cancer tissue metastasis in the lymph node dissection. There was no significant difference in the incidence of total adverse events between group A and group B (

conclusionIntraoperative SLE identification can avoid false negative results, is safe and feasible, and can prolong the survival time of patients with endometrial cancer.
