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

Advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma is treated with cytoreductive surgery and combination chemotherapy with a platinum compound and paclitaxel. Despite this treatment strategy, most women eventually relapse and die of resistant disease. Preclinical studies have shown that alterations in drug accumulation, drug metabolism, DNA repair, cellular targets and/or cell survival pathways may cause this resistance. Clinical studies have employed modulators of resistance in combination with chemotherapy as a means to overcome drug resistance. The most extensively studied modulators, buthionine sulfoximine and valspodar, are involved in reversing resistance caused by glutathione and P-glycoprotein, respectively. A phase III study comparing paclitaxel and carboplatin with and without valspodar is ongoing. However, other approaches to overcoming drug resistance are necessary for the effective treatment of women with this disease.
