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

To evaluate the mortality and morbidity related to bowel resection in women with advanced ovarian carcinoma. Retrospective case series of 47 women with stage III and IV carcinoma ovary who underwent bowel resection, over the period of 5 years from Jan 2011 to Dec 2015. The risk factors for perioperative morbidity and death were determined by regression analysis. The disease free and overall survival were determined by Kaplan-Meier plots. In this cohort, 64% (30/47) had primary debulking, 21% (10/47) had interval debulking, and 15% (7/47) had secondary debulking. The mean period of follow-up was 23 months (1 to 45 months). There were no anastomotic leaks. The commonest morbidities were relaparotomy (8.5%), surgical site infection (12%), and paralytic ileus (19%). The overall morbidity was 42.6% (20/47). The 30-day mortality was 4.2% (2/47). The recurrence rate was 51% (20/47). The overall mortality from ovarian cancer in this cohort was 40% (19/47) during the follow-up period. Stage and histology seemed to be important risk factors for morbidity. Low BMI and sub-optimal debulking were significant risk factors for recurrence and death in univariate analysis. Bowel resection, in optimally selected cases of advanced carcinoma ovary, is often required for optimal cytoreduction. It carries a reasonable peri-operative mortality and morbidity and improves overall survival.
