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

Purpose: The diagnostic value of preoperative hematological changes in endometrial cancer (EC) remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the role of preoperative hematologic parameters in differentiating EC from benign endometrial lesions in postmenopausal women with endometrial masses. Methods: Preoperative laboratory variables were retrospectively reviewed in patients with malignant or benign endometrial lesions, and the significance of intergroup differences was assessed. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to analyze the optimal cut-off values for each variable. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the variables predicting the presence of endometrial malignancy. Results: Preoperative laboratory variables of 176 patients (84 EC and 92 benign lesions) with endometrial masses were analyzed. Significant differences were observed between malignant and benign lesions in terms of WBC count, ANC, MCV, MPV, PDW, CA125, NLR, PMR, LMR, and SII ( Conclusion: The combination markers, MPV+PDW+NLR, had good discriminatory power for the presence of malignancy (AUC 0.797). Our results suggest that hematologic markers could be useful for the differentiation of malignant and benign endometrial lesions.
