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

Preoperative cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) provides an objective measure of a patient's functional capacity under stress. However, the association between CPET and long-term outcomes for women with ovarian cancer have not been assessed. The aim was to determine whether cardiorespiratory fitness, as measured by CPET parameters-peak oxygen uptake (VO

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent CPET prior to surgery for suspected or confirmed ovarian cancer during 2019-2023 at the Northern Gynaecological Oncology Centre, United Kingdom. CPET outcomes were risk-stratified, with thresholds of AT ≥ 10 mL/min, VO

resultsA total of 303 patients were included, of whom 56 (18.5%) had a staging laparotomy, 130 (42.9%) underwent primary cytoreductive surgery, and 117 (38.6%) underwent interval cytoreductive surgery. Survival analysis showed that VO
