Successful Surveillance Using Endometrial Cytology in a Woman With Lynch Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Lynch syndrome (LS) results from pathogenic variants in mismatch repair genes and is the most common hereditary cancer syndrome. Some guidelines or studies recommend restricting screening according to endometrial cancer (EC) using endometrial biopsy. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of endometrial cytology for detecting endometrial atypical hyperplasia or cancer have been reported to be as high as the pooled sensitivity and specificity of endometrial biopsy. We conduct transvaginal ultrasound and endometrial cytology in women with LS every six months as surveillance for gynecological malignancy. Through this surveillance program, we can detect early-stage EC in women with LS. Here, we report the case of a patient with stage IA EC detected by endometrial cytology and treated completely. The patient was a 47-year-old woman under surveillance for gynecological malignancy. She was diagnosed as having LS with a germline pathogenic variant in
