Safety and Efficacy Outcomes of Robotic, Laparoscopic, and Laparotomic Surgery in Severe Obese Endometrial Cancer Patients: A Network Meta-Analysis.
Review in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundThe surgical management of endometrial cancer in severely obese patients (BMI ≥ 40) presents unique challenges. This study evaluates the outcomes of various surgical approaches in terms of safety and efficacy in lymph node retrieval.
methodsA systematic review and network meta-analysis focused on intra-operative complications, post-operative complications, severe complications, and complete surgical staging rates. The analysis included 1163 patients, following a pre-specified methodology based on the PRISMA-NMA guidelines. The study was registered on PROSPERO with protocol number CRD 395959.
resultsIntra-operative complications: No significant difference was found between minimally invasive surgery (MIS, 233 patients) and laparotomy (LPT) (OR 0.68 [95% CI 0.21-2.26],
conclusionsRobotic surgery shows superior outcomes for complete lymph nodal staging in obese endometrial cancer patients, while LPS is favorable for post-operative complications. Further studies are needed to optimize strategies.
