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

introductionIncidence of endometrial cancer (EC) in Hispanic/Latina (H/L) women are higher compared to other race/ethnicities in the United States. EC is the third most common cancer and the fourth cause of cancer-related deaths in Puerto Rican women, yet demographic and clinical information is limited. High rates of EC risk factors such as obesity, diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) and hypertension (HTN) have been documented in the Puerto Rican population.

objectiveTo describe the demographic, clinical history, lifestyle, obstetrical-gynecological, pathologic, and molecular profiles of women with EC predominantly from Southern/Central Puerto Rico.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective secondary analysis of data abstracted from the Puerto Rico Central Cancer Registry (PRCCR), self-administered questionnaires and medical records of EC cases. Descriptive statistics were conducted using SPSS V28 and RStudio.

resultsWe identified 105 EC cases aged 28-82. The major risk factors were BMI ≥ 30 (72%), HTN (33%), and DM2 (20%). Endometrioid adenocarcinoma was the main histological tumor type (80%), of which 74% were Type I. Obesity and nulliparity were associated with younger age at diagnosis. Older age at diagnosis (> 65 y/o) was associated with more advanced disease.

conclusionsThis study defined the clinical-demographic profile of women with EC from Puerto Rico and identified risks factors that are associated with younger or older age at diagnosis. IMPACT: Profiling the risk factors for EC may help improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical management and result in better outcomes for this under-served, under-researched cancer patient population.
