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

In endometrial cancer (EC), deep myometrial invasion (DMI) is a prognostic factor that can be evaluated by various imaging methods; however, the best method of choice is uncertain. We aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of two-dimensional transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the preoperative detection of DMI in patients with EC. Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane Library were systematically searched in May 2023. We included original articles that compared TVS to MRI on the same cohort of patients, with final histopathological confirmation of DMI as reference standard. Several subgroup analyses were performed. Eighteen studies comprising 1548 patients were included. Pooled sensitivity and specificity were 76.6% (95% confidence interval (CI), 70.9-81.4%) and 87.4% (95% CI, 80.6-92%) for TVS. The corresponding values for MRI were 81.1% (95% CI, 74.9-85.9%) and 83.8% (95% CI, 79.2-87.5%). No significant difference was observed (sensitivity:
