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

objectiveTo explore the association between visceral obesity and short-term postoperative complications in patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing cytoreductive surgery.

methodsThe medical records of patients with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer were reviewed. The visceral fat area, subcutaneous fat area and total fat area at the L3/4 level were measured on a preoperative single-slice CT scan. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to calculate the optimal cutoff value for the visceral fat area. The relationship between the visceral fat area and the characteristics of ovarian cancer patients were analyzed. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate relationship between perioperative characteristics and short-term complications.

resultsAccording to the ROC curve, the best cutoff value of the VFA was 93 cm

conclusionVisceral obesity is an important risk factor for short-term postoperative complications in patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing cytoreductive surgery.
