Predictive Factors for Failed Sentinel Lymph Node Mapping in Endometrial Cancer: A Retrospective Multicenter Study.
Article in Journal of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the predictive factors associated with failed sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in a large, retrospective cohort of patients with early-stage endometrial cancer (EC).
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated a series of EC patients who underwent laparoscopic SLN mapping with intracervical indocyanine green (ICG) injection in five referred oncological centers from January 2019 to March 2024. We compared the clinical and pathological features of bilateral and failed SLN mapping, which was defined as either unilateral mapping or no SLN mapping. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of failure.
resultsAmong 623 analyzed patients, 437 (70.14%) had a successful bilateral procedure. On univariate analysis, age (p = 0.03), non-endometrioid histology (p = 0.02) and previous vaginal delivery (p = 0.015) were significant associated with failed SLN mapping. On multivariable analysis, only increasing age (OR 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.04, p = 0.03) and non-endometrioid histology (OR 1.81; 95% CI, 1.01-3.19) were independently associated with unsuccessful procedure. No significant differences were observed for BMI, enlarged lymph nodes, intraoperative lysis of adhesion, LVSI, grade 3, and FIGO stage.
conclusionsIncreasing age and non-endometrioid histology are independent predictors of bilateral SLN mapping failure in EC patients undergoing SLN mapping with cervical ICG injection.
