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

purposeOvarian cancer is characterized by high morbidity and mortality, with surgery remaining the primary treatment modality. The occurrence of postoperative complications significantly impacts patient prognosis and quality of life. As cancer increasingly affects younger individuals, it is crucial to consider age-related differences. Meanwhile, epidemiology suggests a high prevalence of obesity among females. This study aims to evaluate the effect of visceral obesity (VO), diagnosed using computed tomography (CT)-based body composition analysis, on postoperative complications.

methodsA total of 309 patients operated between 2017 and 2022 were included in this study. Patients were stratified into two age groups: ≤65 years (younger group) and > 65 years (older group). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was employed to determine the threshold value for VO. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify risk factors associated with postoperative complications.

resultsAccording to the cut-off value, the incidence of postoperative complications was significantly higher in younger patients with VO compared to the non-VO group (56% vs. 36%, p < 0.01), whereas no difference was observed in older age groups. VO (OR = 1.980, p = 0.031), total protein < 65 g/L (OR = 3.704, p = 0.045), primary debulking surgery (PDS) (OR = 0.369, p = 0.026), duration of surgery (OR = 1.004, p = 0.006) and intraoperative bleeding volume (OR = 1.003, p < 0.01) were identified as independent predictors of postoperative complications in the younger age group. International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage for III or IV (OR = 4.00, p = 0.029) remained as the only independent predictor for the older age group.

conclusionsIn young ovarian cancer patients, VO may serve as a predictor for postoperative complications, and appropriate preventive measures may be beneficial in reducing the incidence of postoperative complications.
