The association between body mass index and molecular subtypes in endometrial carcinoma.
Article in Gynecologic oncology reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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: This study aims to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and molecular subtypes of endometrial carcinoma using an immunohistochemistry (IHC)-based classification approach. Methods: We analyzed a consecutive series of endometrial cancer cases undergoing surgical staging in southern Alberta (2019-2021). Molecular classification was determined through IHC-based molecular typing, incorporating p53 and mismatch repair (MMR), and further characterized with the addition of ER and PR. BMI associations with molecular classification were assessed using t-tests. Hormone receptor status was further examined in a separate cohort of MMRd endometrial cancer patients undergoing surgical staging at Foothills Medical Centre (Alberta, Canada). Results: Among 289 cases, comprising various histological subtypes, the pNSMP subtype exhibited the highest average BMI (33.93 kg/m Conclusions: This study suggests an association between obesity and NSMP endometrial carcinoma. The relationship between BMI and low-grade MMRd endometrial carcinomas with increased ER/PR expression warrants further exploration.
