1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introduction and hypothesisEndometrial cancer therapy may affect lower urinary tract function and quality of life (QoL). We prospectively evaluated short-term urodynamic and QoL outcomes after surgical treatment with or without adjuvant radiotherapy.

methodsWomen with biopsy-confirmed endometrial cancer underwent standardized urodynamic testing before surgery and 6 months after treatment completion. Parameters included detrusor pressure, bladder capacity, compliance, and post-void residual (PVR) urine volume. QoL was assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-EN24 questionnaires. Pre- and post-treatment data were compared using nonparametric tests (α = 0.05). Surgery was performed either robotically or via the open abdominal approach.

resultsOf the 101 participants, 55 received adjuvant radiotherapy and 46 were treated with surgery alone. No clinically significant  urodynamic deterioration was observed post-surgery. Median PVR urine volume decreased from 50 to 40 mL (p = 0.002) and detrusor pressure from 30 to 28 cmH

conclusionsWithin 6 months after endometrial cancer treatment, urodynamic parameters and QoL remained stable. These results suggest short-term functional safety of contemporary surgical and radiotherapy protocols, warranting longer-term follow-up.
