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

Introduction: Lymphocele formation is a common complication after pelvic lymphadenectomy and is usually asymptomatic. In rare cases, secondary infection may occur and lead to severe complications. Case report: We report the case of a 64-year-old woman who developed an infected pelvic lymphocele complicated by perforation of the sigmoid colon following pelvic lymphadenectomy and radiotherapy for endometrial cancer recurrence. The patient required emergency surgery, followed by targeted antimicrobial and antifungal therapy, which resulted in favorable clinical outcomes. Conclusion: This case highlights a rare but life-threatening complication of pelvic lymphocele, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and timely surgical management.
