The ABO Blood Group is an Independent Prognostic Factor in Patients with Ovarian Cancer.
Article in Journal of Cancer, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Previous studies have suggested a relationship between ABO blood group and clinical outcome of various cancers. Nevertheless, little is known about the association between ABO blood group and survival in patients with ovarian carcinoma. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of ABO blood group in patients with ovarian carcinoma. 941 patients who were newly diagnosed with ovarian carcinoma between February 2007 and February 2016 were enrolled in the present study. The relationship between ABO blood type and clinical features in patients with ovarian cancer was analyzed using chi-square tests. Overall survival (OS) stratified by B antigen was evaluated using log-rank test and Kaplan-Meier method. Presence of the B antigen (B/AB) had a worse OS than those in the absence of the B antigen (A/O) in all patients with ovarian cancer, especially in patients with FIGO stage I, IV, and menopause. Presence of the B antigen (B/AB) was significantly correlated with OS than those with non-B antigen (A/O) (hazard ratios 1.342; 95% confidence interval 1.069-1.685; P=0.011). Multivariate analyses revealed that presence of the B antigen (B/AB) was independently associated with OS (hazard ratios 1.532; 95% confidence interval 1.111-2.112; P=0.009). This study indicated that presence of the B antigen (B/AB) was an unfavorable prognostic factor in ovarian carcinoma, especially in patients with FIGO stage I, IV, and menopause.
