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/

objectivesHigh-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) represents the most aggressive subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer and is frequently diagnosed at advanced stages. Increasing evidence suggests that systemic inflammation plays an important role in tumor progression and clinical outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the association between preoperative systemic inflammatory indices and tumor burden, perioperative outcomes, and recurrence risk in patients with HGSOC undergoing primary debulking surgery.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective study including 125 patients with histopathologically confirmed HGSOC who underwent primary debulking surgery between January 2020 and December 2025. Preoperative hematological parameters obtained within 24 h before surgery were used to calculate inflammatory indices including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), and aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI). Associations between inflammatory markers, clinicopathological characteristics, perioperative outcomes, and recurrence were analyzed using non-parametric tests and logistic regression models.

resultsThe mean patient age was 53.66 ± 9.14 years, and most patients presented with advanced disease (FIGO III-IV: 70.4%). Patients with T3 tumors showed significantly higher monocyte (0.66 vs. 0.50 × 10

conclusionsPreoperative systemic inflammatory markers are significantly associated with tumor burden, surgical outcomes, and recurrence risk in HGSOC. An elevated SII appears to be an independent predictor of recurrence and may represent a practical biomarker for improving preoperative risk stratification and postoperative surveillance.
