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

objectiveThis study is to investigate the relationship between marital status and prognosis of patients with ovarian serous carcinoma.

resultsWe performed data analysis from 19,276 patients identified from the SEER database of the National Cancer Center of the United States. 57.8% of the patients were married, 13.0% unmarried, and 29.2% separated/ divorced/widowed (SDW). The median overall survival time ofthe unmarried group and the married group are 48 months and 52 months respectively. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that the patients with serous ovarian cancer in the unmarried group resulted in a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.14 (95% CI: 1.08-1.19%; P < 0.001), comparing to SDW group with a HR of 1.02 (95% CI: 0.98-1.19%; P = 0.26). However, the SDW group was not statistically significantly different from the married group. (median 32 vs 52 months). Multivariate Cox regression analysis presented the unmarried group leading to a HR of 1.05 (95% CI: 1.00-1.11%; P = 0.05), and the SDW group was not significant with a HR of 0.99 (95% CI: 0.95-1.03%; P = 0.57).

conclusionUnmarried patients with ovarian serous carcinoma have higherHRof overall survival. After controlling age, race, grade, radiation and year of diagnosis, unmarried patients were found to have a significantly higher risk of OS. Consequently, these patients are suggested to obtain more focused healthcare for the management of ovarian serous carcinoma.
