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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesThe purpose of our study is to evaluate the incidence of cervical recurrence after laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy for ovarian cancer debulking or staging.

methodsFrom a prospective surgical database, we identified 51 cases of laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy for ovarian cancer debulking or staging. No cases were excluded.

resultsFrom 2009 to 2012, 51 patients were identified. The median age was 62 years (range, 32-83 years), and the median body mass index was 29 kg/m2 (range, 16-41 kg/m2). Medical comorbidities were present in 40 patients (78%), and 53% had prior abdominal surgery. The median operative time was 2 hours (range, 1-3.5 hours), and the median blood loss was 200 mL (range, 50-900 mL). The median length of stay was 1 day (range, 0-12 days). The stage was I in 12 patients, II in 6, and III/IV in 33. At a median follow-up time of 1.7 years (range, 0.3-2.6 years), 20 patients (39%) had recurrence of cancer, with a median time of recurrence of 1.1 years (range, 0.3-2.3 years). All recurrences were in the abdomen or pelvis except for 1 axillary node recurrence and 1 recurrence in the distal vagina. There were no recurrences in the remaining cervical stump. No patient had a postoperative vaginal cuff infection. Among the 104 cycles of intraperitoneal chemotherapy, there was no vaginal leakage of intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

conclusionLaparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy for ovarian cancer debulking or staging does not result in cervical recurrence.
