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

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal type of gynaecological cancer, due to lack of effective screening possibilities and because the disease tends to metastasize before onset of symptoms. Women with an increased inherited risk for EOC are advised to undergo a risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO), which decreases their EOC risk by 96% when performed within guideline ages. However, it also induces premature menopause, which has harmful consequences. There is compelling evidence that the majority of EOCs originate in the fallopian tube. Therefore, a risk-reducing salpingectomy with delayed oophorectomy (RRS with DO) has gained interest as an alternative strategy. Previous studies have shown that this alternative strategy has a positive effect on menopause-related quality of life and sexual health when compared to the standard RRSO. It is hypothesized that the alternative strategy is non-inferior to the standard RRSO with respect to oncological safety (EOC incidence). Three prospective studies are currently including patients to compare the safety and/or quality of life of the two distinct strategies. In this article we discuss the background, opportunities, and challenges of the current and alternative strategy.
