Outcomes of Laparoscopic Optimal Interval Cytoreduction Surgery (LOICS) in Patients with Advanced Ovarian Cancers Having Low Burden Disease.

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
Laparoscopy has been increasingly utilised for cytoreduction surgery in patients with early ovarian cancers. The present study tries to assess the feasibility of laparoscopic interval cytoreduction surgery (LOICS) in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (AOC) having low burden residual disease. A retrospective study of was done of AOC's who underwent LOICS between 2010 and 2014. Epithelial ovarian cancer patients who underwent interval cytoreduction surgery were included and analysed for short-term and long-term outcomes. In all, 36 patients with stage III ovarian cancers were included in the analysis. Twenty-two (61.1%) were grade 3 and 14 (38.8%) were grade 2, and no patient had grade 1 tumour. Stage wise majority were stage IIIC (94.4%) followed by 2 (5.5%) in stage IIIA. There was 1 postoperative complication (2.5%) and no intraoperative complications. Median time to discharge and to start chemotherapy was 5 days and 23 days respectively. After a median follow-up of 60 months, 3 patients (8.3%) were lost to follow-up and the remaining 33 patients were analysed for survival outcomes. The overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were 58.3% and 36.1% respectively. The median RFS and OS were 24 months and 51 months, respectively. Most recurrences involved the peritoneum (82.6%), and 5 patients (21.7%) had nodal recurrence alone. Laparoscopic optimal interval cytoreduction is feasible in patients with advanced ovarian cancers provided the disease burden permits optimal surgery, especially in centres with expertise in complex laparoscopic procedures.
