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

Pelvic lymphadenectomy (PL) is an important surgical procedure for patients with gynecological malignant tumors, and the status of lymph node involvement is associated with prognosis and decision-making of postoperative adjuvant treatment. The surgical approaches for PL include extraperitoneal lymphadenectomy and intraperitoneal lymphadenectomy. Laparoscopic PL (LPL) is related to better cosmetic result and faster recovery compared to abdominal PL. However, the importance of surgical techniques and experience needs to be emphasized. This video aims to describe the experience of a LPL in our institution. We reported a 52-year-old woman with stage IA endometrial carcinoma who underwent laparoscopic total hysterectomy and PL. The diagnosis for this patient was stage IA low differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma. Therefore, a laparoscopic total hysterectomy with double appendages and PL was performed. There were 15 lymph nodes removed in the left pelvis and 13 lymph nodes removed in the right pelvis. Postoperative pathological findings suggested that endometrial hyperplasia changed, local hyperplasia was disordered, and no residual tumor was found. In addition, all of the lymph nodes were negative. PL is an important surgical procedure for gynecological malignancies. A good understanding of basic laparoscopic technique would improve the odds of a successful operation.
