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

backgroundsTo analyse the morbidity, mortality and survival pattern following surgery for borderline ovarian and malignant ovarian tumours.

methodsThe medical records of 57 consecutive patients with invasive and borderline epithelial ovarian cancer patients registered and operated in our tertiary centre between 2015 to 2017 were reviewed. Patients were followed up for a minimum of 18 months to maximum of 42 months at an interval of 3 months with CA125 values. Various prognostic factors were analysed. The data descriptive statistics of frequency and percentage analysis were used for categorical variables and mean and standard deviation were used for continuous variables.

resultsThe most common age group was 51 years and above with the majority (56.2%) of women belonging to postmenopausal age group (32/57). In our study, 30 out of 57 women (52.6%) had stage III disease, 17 women had stage I disease (29.8%) and 7 women had stage 2 disease (12.3%). Majority of the women had serous epithelial ovarian tumour (47 out of 57 patients), which contributed to 82.4%. Grade 1 and 2 morbidity was encountered in 8 patients. Six patients had wound infection (grade 1), and 2 patients required blood transfusions (grade 2). One patient had grade 3 morbidity requiring re-laparotomy. Borderline tumours and early-stage epithelial ovarian tumours had good prognosis, less morbidity and good survival. The overall median survival was 25 months.

conclusionsWith meticulous perioperative care, surgery for ovarian cancer in the primary and interval setting can be done with minimal morbidity and no postoperative mortality, especially in patients with co-morbidities. Grade is an important prognostic factor affecting the survival of patients with epithelial ovarian cancers undergoing surgery. Lymph node dissection helps achieve local control but may not improve the survival.
