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

introductionOur objective was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies evaluating the oncological and reproductive outcomes of patients with endometrial atypical hyperplasia (AH) and endometrioid endometrial cancer (EEC) undergoing conservative therapy with hysteroscopic resection (HR). MATERIAL AND

methodsThis study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. The study strictly followed the methodological framework proposed by the Cochrane Handbook and was retrospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023469986). Searches were conducted in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, from inception to October 10, 2023. A checklist based on items of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and the Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies was used for quality assessment. The primary end points for this meta-analysis were complete response (CR), pregnancy, and live birth rates following HR-based therapy in patients with EEC or AH. The secondary end point was the recurrence rate (RR).

resultsTwenty-one articles involving 407 patients with clinical stage IA, low or intermediate grade, EEC, and 444 patients with AH managed with HR-based conservative treatment were included for this systematic review. CR to HR-based conservative therapy was achieved in 88.6% of patients with EEC and 97.0% of patients with AH. Of these, 30.6% and 24.2%, respectively, had live births. The overall pooled disease RR was 18.3% and 10.8% in patients with EEC and AH, respectively. Further subset analyses revealed that EEC patients with body mass index (BMI) ≤28 kg/m

conclusionsHysteroscopic resection followed by progestins appears to be a promising choice for fertility-sparing treatment in young patients with AH and EEC, with effective and safe responses. The live birth rate remains to be improved by providing medical guidance and encouragement.
