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/

aimThe aim of this study was to analyze the influence of preoperative status on the risk of developing further postoperative complications after debulking surgery for advanced-stage ovarian cancer. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 80 consecutive patients submitted to surgery between 2014 and 2019 for advanced-stage ovarian cancer were retrospectively reviewed.

resultsAmong the 80 cases there were seven patients who developed serious postoperative complications requiring reintervention. Among these cases it seems that association of obesity, poor nutritional status (defined as a lower than 3.5 g/dl serum albumin level) and elderly age were significantly associated with the risk of developing further complications.

conclusionWhen selecting the candidates for debulking surgery for advanced-stage ovarian cancer attention should be focused on excluding cases presenting such preoperative risk factors in order to decrease the postoperative morbidity.
