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

opinion statementThe cornerstone of treatment for uterine sarcoma, regardless of histologic type, remains en bloc surgical resection with total hysterectomy. In the case of incidental diagnosis during another procedure, such as myomectomy, where a hysterectomy was not performed initially, completion hysterectomy or cervical remnant removal is recommended. The completion of additional surgical procedures, including bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy and lymphadenectomy, remains nuanced. Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy remains controversial in the setting of most subtypes of uterine sarcoma, except in the case of hormone-receptor positivity, such as in low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma, where it is indicated as part of definitive surgical treatment. In the absence of apparent nodal involvement, we do not recommend performing universal lymphadenectomy for patients with sarcoma. We recommend systemic therapy for patients with extra-uterine or advanced stage disease, high-grade histology, and recurrence. The most active chemotherapy regimens for advanced, high-grade disease remain doxorubicin or gemcitabine and docetaxol combination therapy. A notable exception is low grade endometrial stromal sarcoma, where we recommend anti-hormonal therapy in the front-line setting. Radiation therapy is reserved for selected cases where it can aid in palliating symptoms.
