Beyond Endometrial Thickness: Evaluating Endometrial Volume as a Diagnostic Tool in Middle-aged Women with Abnormal Uterine Bleeding.
Article in Journal of mid-life health. 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
Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a prevalent gynecological complaint with diverse underlying etiologies, ranging from benign endometrial changes to malignancy. Early identification of malignant pathology is critical for effective management. This study aims to evaluate the histopathological spectrum of endometrial abnormalities in women with AUB and assess the diagnostic utility of endometrial thickness (ET) and endometrial volume (EV) in predicting endometrial carcinoma. Methods: This retrospective study included women presenting with AUB who underwent transvaginal ultrasound and endometrial sampling. Histopathological findings were categorized into benign, polypoidal, hyperplastic, and malignant groups. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine optimal ET and EV cutoff values for predicting endometrial malignancy. Results: Disordered proliferative endometrium was the most common histological finding (38.0%), followed by endometrial hyperplasia (14.0%) and endometrial carcinoma (8.7%). Malignancy was significantly associated with age >50 years (46.2%, Conclusion: Age, obesity, and HTN are significant risk factors for endometrial carcinoma in patients with AUB. EV demonstrates superior diagnostic performance compared to ET and holds promise as a valuable, noninvasive marker in the evaluation of endometrial malignancy. Incorporating EV into routine diagnostic algorithms improves early cancer detection and reduces the need for invasive procedures.
