Surgical outcomes of ureteral reconstruction during cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundUreteral reconstruction is required after surgical resection of the tumor invading the urinary tract in ovarian cancer with low incidence. There are no currently reported surgical outcomes of ureteral reconstruction during cytoreductive surgery. The aim of the study is to investigate the clinical features and surgical outcomes of ureteral reconstruction during primary, interval and secondary cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer.
methodsA total of 3226 patients who underwent primary, interval or secondary cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer between January 2000 and May 2021 were reviewed. Fifty-six patients who underwent ureteral reconstruction during cytoreductive surgery were included in the analysis.
resultsUreteral reconstruction was required in 1.7% (56/3226) of ovarian cancer patients. Of the 56 patients who underwent ureteral reconstruction during cytoreductive surgery, 35 (62.5%) had primary ovarian cancer, and 21 (37.5%) had recurrent ovarian cancer. The median tumor size invading the lower urinary tract was 2.0 cm (range, 0.4-9.5 cm). Ureteroneocystostomy with direct implantation (51.8%) and psoas hitch (8.9%), transureteroureterostomy (7.1%), and ureteroureterostomy (32.1%) were required as part of cytoreductive surgery. Complete cytoreduction with ureteral reconstruction was achieved in 83.9% (47/56) and the rest of the patient population (16.1%) achieved a gross residual tumor size of less than 1 cm. All complications, including hydronephrosis (33.9%), were managed, none resulting in long-term sequelae. In primary ovarian cancer, the 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival were 50.0% and 89.5%, respectively. In patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, the 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival were 23.6% and 64.0%, respectively.
conclusionsUreteral reconstruction as a part of cytoreductive surgery for ovarian cancer could be performed with acceptable morbidities. Complete cytoreduction by a multidisciplinary surgical team, including urologic oncologists, should be pursued for the surgical management of ovarian cancer.
