Return to intended oncological therapy following advanced ovarian cancer surgery: a narrative review.
Review in Anaesthesia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionPatients with advanced ovarian cancer often require radical cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy, with or without targeted therapy. Return to intended oncological therapy after surgery is a crucial metric, as delay can worsen survival. The concept of return to intended oncological therapy is important because it highlights the need for not just successful surgical outcomes, but also the ability to continue with the comprehensive cancer treatment plan.
methodsA comprehensive review of the literature was conducted to identify relevant English language studies published from January 2010 to September 2024.
resultsDelayed return to intended oncological therapy after surgery was associated with poor survival outcomes in ovarian cancer. This narrative review investigates how pre-operative counselling and education; optimisation of the patient's medical condition; meticulous surgical planning and execution; early recognition of complications; and comprehensive postoperative care influence return to intended therapy in gynaecological surgery. Effective multidisciplinary care involving anaesthetists; nurses; physiotherapists; dietitians; psychologists; and the patient's relatives or friends, can prevent complications and ensure timely return to intended oncological therapy. DISCUSSION: Awareness and management of factors affecting return to intended oncological therapy are essential for improving outcomes in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. We highlight the importance of multidisciplinary care (including enhanced recovery after surgery programmes) and the factors affecting these including age; nutrition; and occurrence of postoperative complications.
