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: To report the first uterine transposition for fertility preservation in a patient with vulvar cancer.Case: A 26-year-old nulliparous patient with stage IIIB vulvar cancer, which was resected with adequate margins and bilateral inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy.Laparoscopic transposition of the uterus to the upper abdomen, outside of the scope of radiation was performed to preserve fertility and ovarian function. After the end of radiotherapy, the uterus was repositioned into the pelvis.Main Outcome Measure: Uterine and ovarian function preservation. Result: The patient recovered her menstrual cycles spontaneously 1 month after the reimplantation and exhibited normal variation in ovarian hormones.Twelve months after the surgery, the uterus was normal and there was no sign of recurrent disease. Conclusion: Uterine transposition might represent a valid option for fertility preservation in women who require pelvic radiotherapy. However, studies that assess its viability, effectiveness, and safety are required.
