Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Versus Primary Cytoreductive Surgery for Metastatic Endometrial Cancer.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2026. 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
objectiveTo evaluate the pattern of use and clinical outcomes associated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) compared with primary debulking surgery (PDS) in patients with stage IV endometrial cancer.
methodsWe utilized the National Cancer Database to identify individuals diagnosed with stage IV endometrial cancer, and categorized them according to receipt of NACT or PDS. Propensity score weighting using inverse probability of treatment weighting was applied. Survival outcomes were evaluated using both an intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis, which included all eligible patients, and a per-protocol (PP) analysis restricted to those who underwent chemotherapy and surgery.
resultsAmong 18,205 patients, NACT utilization rose from 30.3% in 2010 to 73.8% in 2021 (p < 0.0001). In the multivariable analysis, patients diagnosed in more recent years, Black and Hispanic race and ethnicity, Medicaid insurance, serous histology, and greater comorbidities were associated with NACT (p < 0.05). In the ITT analysis, there was no mortality difference within 4 months after diagnosis between NACT patients and PDS patients (aHR = 1.03; 95% CI: 0.96-1.11); however, after 4 months, patients treated with NACT experienced higher mortality than those undergoing PDS (aHR = 1.58; 95% CI: 1.51-1.64). In the PP analysis, NACT patients had lower mortality compared to PDS patients within 24 months after diagnosis (aHR = 0.93; 95% CI, 0.88-0.99) but a 34% higher mortality after 24 months (aHR = 1.34; 95% CI, 1.23-1.47).
conclusionUtilization of NACT has expanded among patients with metastatic endometrial cancer. Primary debulking surgery with postoperative chemotherapy is linked to higher early mortality but improved long-term outcomes relative to treatment strategies beginning with NACT followed by surgery.
