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

(1) The degree of cytoreduction achieved during primary debulking surgery (PDS) is an important prognostic factor for the survival of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Our aim was to investigate the prognostic value of preoperative laboratory parameters for the outcome of PDS. (2) We analyzed the preoperative laboratory parameters of 150 serous EOC patients who underwent PDS between 2006 and 2013. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the optimal cut-off values of the variables for predicting the PDS outcome. We used binary logistic regression to examine the independent predictive value of the factors for incomplete cytoreduction. (3) Among the parameters, we established optimal cut-off values for cancer antigen (Ca)-125, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) to predict the outcome of PDS. The results of binary logistic regression showed that stage (FIGO III-IV), MLR (>0.305), and Ca-125 (>169.15 kU/L) were independent significant predictors of the degree of tumor reduction achieved during PDS. (4) In the future, MLR, especially in combination with other parameters, may be useful in determining prognosis and selecting the best treatment option (PDS or neoadjuvant chemotherapy + interval debulking surgery) for ovarian cancer patients.
