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

A significant comorbidity of endometrial cancer is severe obesity with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of greater than 40, which can dramatically limit treatment options such as surgery or brachytherapy. Alternative treatment options need to be investigated, and in this case report, we examine a female with severe obesity and a significantly enlarged uterus who was ineligible for surgery or intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT). She subsequently underwent treatment with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) alone to the pelvis, followed by a stereotactic radiation therapy boost (SBRT) to the uterus. Following treatment, her uterine bleeding subsided, and she is currently without evidence of disease.
