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

Background: Identifying reliable prognostic indicators can aid in improving patient care. The aim of this study was to establish the association of Methods: From May 2014 to May 2019, a total of 79 patients with EOC who underwent posttreatment Results: The PET-positive (PET-P) patients had significantly decreased OS based on either Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (P<0.001) or univariate Cox regression analysis [hazard ratio (HR) =40.177, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.690-600.134; P=0.007]. "Ln" is a logarithmic transformation with a base of "e" (natural logarithm). LnWBMTV, lnWBTLG, and therapy after PET were independent predictors of OS in a cohort of 63 PET-P patients. The difference in OS between groups sorted by the median WBMTV (4.16; P<0.001) and WBTLG (14.71; P<0.001) was statistically significant. There were statistically significant differences in CA125 and HE4 levels between patients in the PET-P and PET-negative (PET-N) groups (P<0.001). In the PET-P patient cohort, serum HE4 levels were substantially correlated with WBMTV and WBTLG. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis suggested a reduction in OS after treatment in patients with EOC positive for CA125, HE4, and PET (P<0.001). Conclusions: Post-PET/CT treatment strategy, WBMTV, and WBTLG demonstrated significant prognostic utility in predicting posttreatment OS in patients with EOC. Patients who tested positive for both tumor markers CA125 and HE4 and had a positive PET scan demonstrated a significantly poorer prognosis in terms of posttreatment OS.
