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: The presence of metastatic peritoneal nodules in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is considered a prognostic factor of both overall survival and disease-free survival. The goal of this study is to assess the potential prognostic effect of associated peritoneal carcinomatosis and PCI in stage II and III EOC patients after undergoing complete cytoreduction (CC score 0 or 1). Patients and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study including 50 high-grade serous EOC cases treated and followed up from 2012 and 2016. Twenty-three cases had peritoneal nodules at the time of exploration. PCI was assessed intraoperatively in each case. Twenty-seven cases had no peritoneal nodules (were given PCI 0). Results: The presence of peritoneal nodules, presence of ascites, and stage of the disease had statistically significant impact on overall survival, but with multivariate analysis, only presence of peritoneal nodules was associated with a statistically significant reduced overall survival (HR 6.192; 95% CI 1.248-30.720; Conclusion: The presence of peritoneal nodules had a statistically significant impact on overall survival and incidence of postoperative death. There was no statistically significant prognostic impact of PCI in stage II and III EOC patients who had complete cytoreduction.
