Background: This study aims to assess the comparative effectiveness and safety of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), laparoscopy (LPS), and laparotomy (LPT) in improving perioperative indicators, lymph node dissection, and tumor survival outcomes in patients with Endometrial carcinoma (EC) through a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Materials And Methods: We searched China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, WeiPu, China Biology Medicine Disc, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and Cohort studies (CSs) involving RAS, LPS and LPT in individuals with EC. The network meta-analysis employed a Bayesian framework to integrate direct and indirect evidence, calculating Odds Ratios (OR) and Mean Difference (MD). Markov chain Monte Carlo methods generated posterior distributions, comparing and ranking treatments using Surface Under the Cumulative Ranking (SUCRA) values. Regression and sensitivity analyses assessed the impact of different variables on the results.
Results: 37 eligible trials involving 3 surgical techniques and 6,558 participants were included in this network meta-analysis. Our data showed that RAS was the most effective way for reducing estimated blood loss (MD - 193; 95% CI [-279.38 to - 106.95]; SUCRA 80.3%), length of hospital stay (MD - 3.8; 95% CI [-5.37 to - 2.31]; SUCRA 90.2%), transfusion rate (OR 0.13; 95% CI [0.06 to 0.28]; SUCRA 87%), intraoperative complications(OR 0.23; 95% CI [0.06 to 0.8]; SUCRA 91.3%), postoperative complications (OR 0.29; 95% CI [0.18 to 0.51]; SUCRA 98.8%), and total complications (OR 0.24; 95% CI [0.1 to 0.61]; SUCRA 96%). However, the analysis showed no significant differences in the dissection of lymph nodes and tumor survival outcomes.
Conclusion: Our results showed that RAS was the most effective surgical method for improving perioperative indicators in EC. If hospital resources are limited, LPS is a suitable alternative. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and ensure that the benefits of minimally invasive surgeries extend to long-term survival outcomes.

This study aims to elucidate the potential genetic commonalities between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and rheumatic diseases through a disease interactome network, according to publicly available large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS). The analysis included linkage disequilibrium score regression analysis, cross trait meta-analysis and colocalisation analysis to identify common genetic overlap. Using modular partitioning, the network-based association between the two disease proteins in the protein-protein interaction set was divided and quantified.

In recent decades, converging evidence has reached a consensus that human speech production is carried out by large-scale hierarchical network comprising both language-selective and domain-general systems. However, it remains unclear how these systems interact during speech production and the specific contributions of their component regions. By utilizing a series of meta-analytic approaches based on various language tasks, we dissociated four major systems in this study: domain-general, high-level language, motor-perception, and speech-control systems in this study.

Melanoma is an aggressive tumor that is challenging to treat. Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC), the first oncolytic virus treatment approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat unresectable melanoma, was recently used in recurrent tumors after initial surgery. Our network meta-analysis aimed to compare T-VEC treatment of metastatic melanoma with treatment of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and control group.

Eczema and dermatitis are common inflammatory skin conditions with significant morbidity. Identifying drug-targetable genes can facilitate the development of effective treatments. This study analyzed data obtained by meta-analysis of 2 genome-wide association studies on eczema/dermatitis (57,311 cases and 896,779 controls, European ancestry).
