Efficacy of Compression Stockings in Prophylaxis of Lower Limb Lymphedema in Women Undergoing Treatment for Gynecological Malignancies: A Prospective Randomized Study.
Article in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLower limb lymphedema (LLL) is a frequent complication after gynecological cancer treatment, with a significant impact on quality of life. Despite the common use of compression therapy in managing established lymphedema, its role in prevention remains insufficiently explored.
methodsIn this prospective randomized study, 64 women treated for gynecological malignancies were assigned to either a compression group (CG) using medium-pressure stockings (23-32 mmHg) or a no-compression group (NCG). All participants received standard education and physical activity guidance. Limb volume, symptom burden, and quality of life were assessed over 12 months.
resultsThe incidence of LLL was significantly lower in the CG (3.4%) compared to the NCG (38%,
conclusionsMedium-pressure compression stockings combined with education and physical activity are effective and well-tolerated in preventing LLL following gynecological cancer treatment.
