Intensive sequential dose dense chemotherapy with stem cell support as first-line treatment in advanced ovarian carcinoma: a phase II study.
Trial report in Bone marrow transplantation, 2002. 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
From August 1995 to December 1997, 15 patients with stage III-IV ovarian cancer were treated with outpatient intensive chemotherapy with G-CSF and stem cell support. The first cycle consisted of cyclophophamide IV 6 g/m(2); second, third, fourth and fifth paclitaxel 250 mg/m(2) and the sixth and seventh carboplatin AUC 18. CD34(+) cells were collected after the first cycle and reinfused after completion of cycles 6 and 7. Fourteen patients had stage IIIc and one patient had stage IV disease with liver metastases. All patients underwent laparotomy to maximize tumor debulking. This was optimal in eight patients and suboptimal in seven patients. Second-look surgery was performed in 14 patients. All patients had macroscopic complete responses and 10 patients had complete histologic response. Median follow-up was 48 months (range, 20 to 62). Twelve patients had further progression at a median of 27 months (range, 9 to 42) and nine are alive, three without evidence of disease progression. This pilot study shows that dose-dense chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin is associated with low toxicity and may improve the outcome of patients with poor prognosis ovarian cancer.
