Trends in Surgical Outcomes and Overall Survival Among Women Undergoing Debulking Surgery for Advanced Ovarian Cancer in the U.S: Analysis of the National Cancer Database.
Article in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Given the rising use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by interval debulking surgery (IDS) in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), we sought to assess practice trends in overall survival (OS), complete gross resection (R0), and postoperative mortality following debulking surgery. The National Cancer Database (NCDB) was used to identify 34,982 stage IIIC and IV EOC patients between 2010 and 2017 who underwent surgery. Annual proportions of patients receiving IDS and PDS were calculated. Median OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Joinpoint models were fitted to evaluate surgical trends. Statistics were performed using SPSS and Joinpoint. Of 34,982 patients, 10,460 (29.9%) underwent IDS. IDS patients were older, more likely to have stage IV disease, and more likely to be non-White. Median OS was higher in the PDS group (54 vs. 38.8 months,
