The prognosis impact of NACT-IDS and PDS in advanced ovarian cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of gynecologic oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveWe aimed to explore the prognostic implications of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and interval debulking surgery (NACT-IDS) compared to primary debulking surgery (PDS) in patients diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer by meta-analysis.
methodsThe search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, Wanfang Data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the Chinese BioMedical Literature Database to identify pertinent studies examining the prognostic implications of NACT-IDS versus PDS in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
resultsAs of September 11, 2023, a total of 29 articles were ultimately included, encompassing 12,916 patients with advanced ovarian cancer in this meta-analysis. NACT-IDS groups exhibited a higher satisfactory tumor reduction rate (odds ratio [OR]=2.06; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.53 to 2.76; p<0.001). NACT-IDS effectively reduced the risk of adverse cardiac events (OR=0.36; 95% CI=0.17 to 0.80; p=0.012), surgical site infections (OR=0.42; 95% CI=0.29 to 0.60; p<0.001), and embolic complications (OR=0.43; 95% CI=0.24 to 0.75; p=0.003) in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Compared to NACT-IDS therapy for International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) III-IV ovarian cancer patients (OR=1.66; 95% CI=1.24 to 2.23; p=0.009), NACT-IDS groups exhibited a higher satisfactory tumor reduction rate for FIGO IIIC-IV (OR=2.35; 95% CI=1.50 to 3.70; p<0.001).
conclusionNACT-IDS effectively enhances the satisfactory tumor reduction rate, especially for patients with stage IIIC and IV, and decreases postoperative complications among patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
