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

Objectives: Timely recognition of pre-diagnosis symptoms plays a key role in early diagnosis of endometrial cancer (EC). Symptom profiles may vary by conditions such as fibroids or obesity which are differentially distributed by race. We describe pre-diagnosis symptom reporting among EC survivors by race, fibroids history, and body mass index (BMI). Methods: We calculated prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for 6 menstrual and 7 non-menstrual self-reported, pre-diagnosis symptoms using Poisson regression. We assessed participants' pre-diagnosis knowledge about postmenopausal bleeding and reporting of symptoms to healthcare providers. Results: Among 638 Carolina Endometrial Cancer Study participants, 36% self-identified as Black or African American and 64% as White. Women with fibroids (versus without) were more likely to report heavy periods (PR = 1.23, 95% CI 1.09-1.40), periods of >7 days (PR = 1.37, 95% CI 1.09-1.71), and non-menstrual symptoms (PR = 1.15, 95% CI 1.05-1.25). Women with a BMI >30 kg/m Conclusions: Pre-diagnosis symptom profiles varied by fibroids and obesity among endometrial cancer survivors. Low knowledge pertaining to postmenopausal bleeding as a potential symptom for endometrial cancer suggests opportunity for improved patient education.
