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

Objective: To assess cognitive function in patients newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer (OC) before treatment and explore the relationship between neuropsychological impairment, self-perceived cognitive deficit, symptoms, and health-related quality of life in them. Methods: From May 2021 to February 2022, 105 women newly diagnosed with OC were enrolled in the Cancer Center of Fudan University, Shanghai, China. Objective and subjective cognitive functions were assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale and Perceptual Deficits Questionnaire (PDQ). Symptoms and quality of life were evaluated using the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale (MSAS) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Ovarian Cancer (FACT-O), respectively. Results: This study included 105 newly diagnosed OC patients, with an average age of 49.73 (±8.48) years. Of these, 72.38% had impaired neuropsychological test scores, especially in delayed recall, abstraction, and visuospatial/executive function. Retrospective, and prospective memory were the most serious perceived deficits. The results of the MoCA test were not associated with PDQ (R Conclusion: The incidence of neuropsychological impairment in patients newly diagnosed with OC was high, with no association with self-perceived cognitive deficits. It is recommended that healthcare providers include cognitive impairment in symptom management in this population, who may benefit from early assessment, prevention, and intervention.
