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

backgroundExtensive surgery on advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer is associated with increased postoperative morbidity, which may cause a delay in or omission of chemotherapy. We examined postoperative complications and their effects on adjuvant treatment in patients undergoing primary debulking surgery (PDS).

methodsStage IIIC-IV epithelial ovarian cancer patients who underwent PDS between January 2013 and December 2020 were included. Patients were divided into two groups according to the radicality of the operation, i.e., extensive or standard surgery, and their outcomes were compared.

resultsIn total, 172 patients were included; 119 underwent extensive surgery, and 53 had standard surgery. Clavien-Dindo grade 3-5 (CDC 3+) complications were detected in 41.2% of patients after extensive operations and in 17% after standard surgery (

conclusionsComplications are common after PDS. Extensive surgery increases the complication rate, but most complications can be treated effectively; therefore, a delay in adjuvant treatment is rare.
