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
Background: In the last years, laparoscopy has been progressively introduced in the management of advanced- stage ovarian cancer (AOC) not only to evaluate tumour resectability, but also to perform primary or interval minimally invasive debulking surgery in selected patients. During laparoscopic debulking for AOC, the need to change the surgical field to treat disease in the upper abdomen can be a time-consuming procedure. Objective: To demonstrate feasibility, safety and effectiveness of laparoscopic approach to remove bulky para- aortic nodes in AOC with a 30-degree 3D-endoscope without repositioning the laparoscopic surgical field. Materials and Methods: A 51-year-old woman was referred to our centre due to AOC with bulky para-aortic nodes (7 cm polylobate mass at CT-scan). The narrated surgical video article demonstrates the surgical steps for laparoscopic removal of bulky para-aortic nodes with a 30-degree 3D-endoscope, maintaining the vision from the upper abdomen perpendicular to the main axis of the vascular structures for the whole duration of the surgery ("top-bottom" view), without repositioning surgical field. Main Outcomes measures: Complete laparoscopic excision of disease was achieved. Results: Post-operative course was uneventful. Patient recovered from surgery and was able to start adjuvant chemotherapy within 30 days from surgery. Conclusions: Repositioning the surgical field to perform para-aortic dissection can be a time-consuming procedure during laparoscopic debulking for ovarian cancer. Laparoscopic removal of bulky para-aortic nodes with a 30-degree 3D-endoscope and "top-bottom view" is feasible, safe and effective.
