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

objectiveThe objective of this paper is to study the association between obesity and tumor recurrence in patients with vulvar cancer.

methodsThis is a retrospective study including vulvar cancer patients from 2003 to 2022. Our primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS) stratified by status of obesity, defined as body mass index (BMI) >30.0 kg/m

resultsOverall, 48 patients were included in the study, with 32 (66.7%) diagnosed at early stages (I-II). The median BMI was 28.0 kg/m

conclusionObesity is not associated with PFS in patients with vulvar cancer, and BMI might not be considered a risk factor for recurrence.
