Outcome of Surgical Intervention for Intrathoracic Lymph Node Metastasis in Uterine and Ovarian Cancer without Lung Metastasis: A Report of Three Cases.
Article in Surgical case reports, 2025. 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
introductionMetastasis to the hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes in gynecological cancer is rare, and isolated hilar or mediastinal lymph node metastases are even rarer. In this report, we describe the results of lymph node dissection performed on 3 patients with hilar mediastinal lymph node metastasis but no lung metastasis from uterine or ovarian cancer. CASE PRESENTATION: Case 1 was a 50-year-old woman diagnosed with ovarian cancer with mediastinal lymph node metastasis. After 4 courses of chemotherapy, a total hysterectomy, omentectomy, and mediastinal lymph node dissection were performed simultaneously. The patient is still alive 58 months after surgery. Case 2 was a 68-year-old woman who underwent a total hysterectomy after chemotherapy for endometrial cancer with multiple lymph node metastases. Forty-two months after surgery, mediastinal lymph node dissection was performed for metastasis of uterine cancer. She is still alive 75 months after surgery. Case 3 was a 69-year-old woman who underwent a hysterectomy for endometrial cancer. One year after surgery, she underwent thoracoscopic hilar and mediastinal lymph node dissection due to metastasis. Thirty-nine months have passed with no recurrence. Aggressive local control, particularly surgical resection of isolated hilar mediastinal lymph nodes in gynecological cancer, may contribute to prolonging patient survival.
conclusionsAggressive local control, especially surgical resection, for isolated hilar mediastinal lymph nodes due to gynecological cancer is safe and may contribute to prolonging survival.
