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

backgroundThe incidence of endometrial cancer in Japan has more than doubled over the past 2 decades because of increasing obesity rates and the unique physiological traits of Asian populations. The aim of this retrospective study was to examine the impact of obesity on surgical outcomes, prognosis, and costs.

methodsA total of 197 patients with stage IA endometrial cancer who underwent robot-assisted hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and lymphadenectomy/biopsy from 2018 onward were included. Patients were divided into the BMI < 30 kg/m

resultsIn the BMI ≥ 30 kg/m

conclusionsWhile obesity (BMI ≥ 30) did not significantly impact surgical outcomes or cancer prognoses, it did increase treatment costs and the risk of lifestyle-related diseases. Thus, preventive strategies, including lifestyle counseling, are needed to reduce obesity-related health burdens.
