Review in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Hormonal therapy has long been a treatment modality for recurrent endometrial cancer. It is appealing for patients with low-grade, slow-growing tumors or in patients for which other treatment types may be too toxic. Hormonal therapy is well tolerated and has response rates ranging from 9 to 33%. Hormonal treatment options take advantage of the estrogen-dependent molecular pathways in endometrial cancers. Current options for hormonal therapies include progesterone therapy (medroxyprogesterone acetate and megestrol acetate) as a single agent or in combination and agents that target the estrogen pathway. Aromatase inhibitors have had modest single-agent activity, but synergistic effects have been found when used in combination with targeted therapy including mTOR inhibitors and cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors. Molecular profiling of endometrial cancers has begun to help individualize treatments. This review will report on existing data and ongoing trials investigating novel hormonal therapy agents.
