Treatment outcomes and the role of surgery in gestational trophoblastic neoplasia: a population-based cohort study.

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
background and purposeCure rates of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) are excellent, however the surgical interventions in disease management are not well described. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and types of surgical procedures used for management of GTN and to report treatment outcomes in a population-based cohort. The secondary aim was to assess the impact of hysterectomy on time to human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-normalisation in low-risk GTN. MATERIAL AND
methodsMedical records of all patients treated for GTN at Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden between 1994 and 2020 were screened for treatment outcomes, types of surgical procedures and complications. Regression models were used to assess if hysterectomy affected time to complete remission in low-risk GTN. RESULTS AND
interpretationOver the 27-year study period, 185 patients with GTN were included. The primary complete remission rate was 98.4% and relapse rate 3.2%. Sixty-four patients (34.6%) underwent at least one surgical procedure; 39/154 (25.3%) of low-risk patients, 17/23 (73.9%) of high-risk patients and all (100%) patients with placental site or epithelioid trophoblastic tumour. No severe complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥3) were observed. Seven of 74 procedures (9.5%) were complicated by bleeding >1,000 mL or surgical site infection. Therapeutic hysterectomy significantly shortened time to hCG-normalisation in the low-risk group (48 vs 74 days, p = 0.002). This population-based study confirms the excellent cure rates and low relapse rates for GTN. Surgery plays an important role in the management of GTN with low risk of complications. Hysterectomy shortens time to hCG normalisation.
