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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesDue to the rarity and histological heterogeneity of non-epithelial ovarian cancers (NEOCs), monitoring their reproductive and oncological outcomes is challenging. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the oncological and reproductive outcomes of patients with NEOCs treated with fertility-sparing surgery over the past 10 years at our tertiary referral university clinic.

methodsThis retrospective study included all the NEOC patients diagnosed and treated with fertility-sparing surgery from 2010 to 2019. The patient demographic and clinical characteristics; data regarding the treatment andthe clinical, laboratory, and imaging findings during follow-up; and disease recurrences were recorded. In this study, the recurrence-free survival and the overall survival were the oncological outcomes. The reproductive outcomes were assessed as attempting and achieving pregnancy.

resultsThis study included 39 patients. The most frequent NEOCs were granulosa cell tumors (53.8%). The majority of the tumors were in the IA or IC1 stage. The initial therapy was generally a unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (30.8%). Adjuvant chemotherapy was received by 48.7% of the patients. An NEOC recurrence was registered in 25.6% of the patients, mostly during the first two postoperative years. The recurrence-free survival was 76.92%. A regression analysis showed that amore advanced stage of NEOC was the most important predictor of disease recurrence. The overall survival rate was 87.2%, with a mean time to an adverse outcome of 23.01 +/-10.68 months. The regression analysis showed that better survival depended mostly on not having disease recurrence. After treatment, ten patients tried to conceive and seven succeeded. All the children were in good condition upon birth.

conclusionsFertility-sparing treatment for NEOCs was proven as a safe and successful option in terms of both oncological and reproductive outcomes.
