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
Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate whether routine tubal ligation, vaginal washing, and Z-suturing of the external cervical os immediately before colpotomy prevents malignant peritoneal contamination during minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for endometrial cancer. Materials and Methods: For this single-center, retrospective study, we included patients aged >20 years who underwent laparoscopy or laparotomy at our institution for preoperatively diagnosed endometrial cancer from December 2019 to November 2023. Patients were categorized into either the laparoscopy or the laparotomy group. Results: A total of 115 patients were evaluated using pre- and posthysterectomy peritoneal cytology. Laparoscopic surgery was performed for patients with early-stage cancer; they had significantly smaller tumors (mean ± standard deviation: 3.0 ± 1.6 vs. 4.3 ± 2.4 cm; Conclusion: Routine tubal ligation at surgery initiation, Z-suturing, and vaginal washing may reduce the risk of peritoneal cytological contamination during MIS for endometrial cancer. These measures should especially be considered when a uterine manipulator is used.
