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

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess prognostic factors correlated with recurrence and decreased oncologic outcomes, as well as the role of adjuvant treatment on survival in women with stage I and II endometrioid endometrial cancer without lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI). Material and Methods: Patients with LVSI negative, early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer patients were retrospectively reviewed. Multivariable logistic regression models were used for identifying predictors of recurrence. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and survival curves were compared by log-rank test. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to establish factors affecting OS and DFS. Hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Results: A total of 289 patients were included, with a mean age of 58 years and the median surveillance time of 45 (6-147) months. The majority of the patients (54%) had grade 1 tumors. Adjuvant therapy was administered to 68 (23.5%). A total of 13 (4.5%) recurred with median time to recurrence of 52 months. Patients receiving adjuvant treatment were more likely to recur (p=0.015), and grade was the only independent predictor of recurrence (p=0.029). Five-year OS and DFS were 95.8% and 97.9%, respectively. While tumor size (p=0.018) and grade 3 histology (p=0.045) were related with shorter DFS, age (p<0.001) was the only related factor for decreased OS. Conclusion: Recurrence rate was low among LVSI negative, early-stage endometrioid endometrial cancer patients. Although recurrences were seen more frequently in patients who received adjuvant treatment, it wasn't an independent prognostic factor. Neither recurrence nor adverse uterine risk factors were associated with shorter OS. While age was the only prognostic factor for decreased OS, grade 3 histology and tumor size were associated with decreased DFS.
