The past, present, and future of FIGO staging of endometrial cancer.
Review in Journal of gynecologic oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging of endometrial cancer (EC) is regarded as a crucial tool for guiding treatment, evaluating prognosis, and advancing clinical research. It is a concept of shared importance among gynecologic oncologists, pathologists, and patients with EC. In June 2023, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics released a new staging system for EC. This review aims to discuss comprehensively the developmental trajectory of FIGO staging for EC, focusing on the differences between the 2023 FIGO and earlier staging systems, and delineating the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating various pathological factors and molecular subtypes into staging. The article emphasizes the progress made with the updated 2023 FIGO version in improving prognostic prediction accuracy for patients with EC. However, as the staging categories expand, their complexity becomes increasingly apparent, potentially impacting health care professionals' accurate understanding and application of staging. Moreover, unresolved issues persist regarding histological types and grading, lymphovascular space invasion, and molecular subtypes, as well as distinguishing between low-grade endometrioid carcinomas confined to the uterus and ovaries, which may affect the personalized management of patients with EC. In the future, these issues still require extensive clinical research and specific data for validation or confirmation, presenting a challenge shared by gynecologic oncologists and pathologists.
