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

In recent years, with the increasing incidence of endometrial carcinoma in women of child-bearing age, to decision of whether to preserve patients' fertility during treatment has become increasingly complex, presenting a formidable challenge for both physicians and patients. Non-fertility-sparing treatment can remove lesions more thoroughly than fertility-sparing treatment. However, patients will permanently lose their fertility. In contrast, fertility-sparing treatment can treat tumors without impairing fertility, but the risk of disease progression is high as compared with non-fertility-sparing treatment. Therefore, it is extremely important to accurately identify patients who are suitable for fertility-sparing treatments. The evaluation of prognostic factors, including myometrial invasion, the presence of lymph node metastases, and histopathological type, is vital for determining whether a patient can receive fertility-sparing treatment. As a non-invasive and quantitative approach, radiomics has the potential to assist radiologists and other clinicians in determining more precise judgments with regard to the above factors by extracting imaging features and establishing predictive models. In this review, we summarized currently available fertility-sparing strategies and reviewed the performance of radiomics in predicting risk factors associated with fertility-sparing treatment. This review aims to assist clinicians in identifying patients suitable for fertility-sparing treatment more accurately and comprehensively and informs more appropriate and rigorous treatment decisions for endometrial cancer patients of child-bearing age.Critical relevance statement: Radiomics is a promising tool that may assist clinicians identify risk factors about fertility-sparing more accurately and comprehensively.
