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

backgroundRates of endometrial cancer, the sixth most common in women, are rising. HRQoL, reflecting health beyond clinical contexts, includes disabilities and daily functioning impacts. Measured by various tools such as EuroQoL-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D-5L), it aids in economic evaluation of interventions.

aimsThe purpose of this study was to analyze Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), measured by the EQ-5D-5L instrument, in different states of endometrial cancer (EC) patients. METHODS AND

resultsWe conducted a cross-sectional study on EC patients who underwent follow-up at Siriraj Hospital, Thailand, between January and June 2023. Patients were classified into five groups: early state, advanced state, curative state, locoregional recurrent state, and distant recurrent/progression state. Demographic and socioeconomic data were collected. EQ-5D-5L and visual analog scale instruments (EQ-VAS) were used to compared between disease states. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize patient characteristics, and the Mann-Whitney U test (p ≤ 0.05) compared EQ-5D-5L scores across groups. The study included 56 EC patients, with a mean age of 60.1 ± 10.9 years and a mean BMI of 26.8 ± 5.3 kg/m

conclusionThe findings show the substantial negative impact of distant metastasis or disease progression on HRQoL. These findings will be used to guide future economic research in the field of endometrial cancer treatment.
