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 inaugural session of the Asian Society of Young Gynecologic Oncologists (ASYGO), held during Asian Society of Gynecologic Oncology 2025, focused on training pathways and learning curves in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for young gynecologic oncologists. Country reports from Japan, South Korea, China, Thailand, and Indonesia highlighted the rapid expansion of MIS alongside persistent disparities in training infrastructure, mentorship access, and competency assessment. While digital resources, simulation programs, and cadaver-based training have expanded educational opportunities, standardized oncology-specific curricula and cross-institutional assessment frameworks remain limited across the region. Despite differences in healthcare systems, common challenges emerged, including unequal access to high-volume centers, insufficient hands-on training, and lack of harmonized quality assurance mechanisms. Participants reached consensus on the need to harmonize gynecologic oncology education across Asia and establish a pan-Asian training framework aimed at equitable access and standardized competencies. ASYGO aims to function as a collaborative platform to develop competency-based curricula, mentorship networks, and regional evaluation systems. This session represents an initial step toward building a sustainable educational ecosystem to support the next generation of gynecologic oncologists in Asia.
