Clinical Remission Rates in Patients With Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Before and After the Onset of the COVID 19 Pandemic in an Integrated Healthcare Delivery System.
Article in Cancer management and research, 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
Purpose: Evidence on the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on outcomes in patients with ovarian cancer patients is limited. We compared remission outcomes in patients with ovarian cancer before and during the pandemic. Patients and Methods: This retrospective cohort study included patients diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer between 01/01/2017 and 06/30/2021 at Kaiser Permanente Southern California. Pre and post pandemic periods were designated using March 4, 2020, as the cut-off. Stage I-IV patients who completed chemotherapy and/or surgery as first-line treatment were included. Data on remission outcomes (complete and clinical remission) were abstracted by manual chart reviews. Complete remission was defined as no evidence of disease; clinical remission included both complete and partial response to treatment. Modified Poisson regression was used to evaluate the association of pandemic and remission. Effect modification by race/ethnicity was evaluated. Results: Of 748 ovarian cancer patients included, 72.7% and 27.3% patients were diagnosed before and during the pandemic, respectively. Complete remission was observed in 75.7% and 73.5% patients before and during the pandemic, respectively (p = 0.53). No statistically significant association of pandemic period with remission outcomes was observed in the adjusted models. However, race/ethnicity modified the association of pandemic period with complete remission (p-value < 0.01). White patients, but not other racial/ethnic groups, were 13% more likely to achieve complete remission during the pandemic than during the pre-pandemic [adjusted rate ratio (95% confidence interval): 1.13 (1.00-1.28)]. Conclusion: Patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer achieved similar complete and clinical remission rates before and during the pandemic. Association of the pandemic period with complete remission varied for White vs non-White patients.
