High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) assisted by a rectal Foley catheter for the treatment of recurrent mucinous ovarian cancer: a case report and literature review.

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.
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
Mucinous ovarian cancer (MOC) is characterized by high malignancy, poor prognosis and a high recurrence rate. Surgical adjuvant chemotherapy is the main treatment for MOC. The recurrence rate of advanced mucinous ovarian cancer following surgery is significantly high, with limited efficacious treatment options available. Moreover, chemotherapy alone results in low sensitivity in this context. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) not only efficiently ablates targeted tumor lesions but also elicits an immune response within the body and increases tumor cell susceptibility to drugs, thus increasing therapeutic effectiveness. We report a case of recurrent mucinous ovarian cancer treated with HIFU combined with chemotherapy, which effectively controlled tumor growth and prolonged patient survival. High-intensity focused ultrasound in combination with chemotherapy for the treatment of recurrent and surgically difficult ovarian cancer could provide new treatment strategies.
