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.

Abstract

(1) Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery is used in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer. However, no tool can safely predict if complete cytoreduction after 3-4 cycles can be achieved. This study aims to investigate if the KELIM score can be a triage tool in the identification of patients that will be ideal candidates for interval debulking surgery (IDS). (2) Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of patients with high-grade serous advanced ovarian cancer that were treated in the 1st Department of Obstetrics-Gynecology, 2012-2022, with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by IDS. Patient characteristics, oncological outcome and follow-up information were collected. The primary outcome was the association of the KELIM score with residual disease. (3) Results: 83 patients were categorized into two groups: Group A (51 patients) with favorable (≥1) and Group B (32 patients) with unfavorable (<1) KELIM scores. A statistically significant correlation between KELIM and residual disease (
