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

The incidence of endometrial cancer (EC) has been on the rise, with a notable increase observed in younger female population. Approximately 80% of EC patients are associated with endometrial hyperplasia, a condition characterized by excessive stimulation from unopposed estrogen. Progestin, as the antagonist of estrogen, is recommended for patients with fertility conservation requirements. However, some patients may exhibit insensitivity to progestin treatment, and those with comorbidities such as obesity and diabetes may experience suboptimal therapeutic effects. To improve the efficacy of progestin treatment and address the fertility needs of patients, it is imperative to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of progestin insensitivity in EC. In this review, we explore the role of progestin in EC and its clinical effectiveness. We discuss the factors contributing to progestin insensitivity, highlight recent advancements in research aimed at enhancing treatment sensitivity, and propose potential avenues for future investigation.
