Review in British journal of cancer, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 42 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Although treatment for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer has improved over recent years with the introduction of taxane-platinum chemotherapy, the majority of patients will relapse, and in most the disease remains incurable. A thorough understanding of drug resistance mechanisms is needed, as this remains the largest obstacle in treating patients with recurrent disease. Multidrug resistance proteins, mismatch repair processes and alterations in the p53 pathway are examples of properties within tumour cells that may lead to drug resistance. Novel agents designed to circumvent these mechanisms (e.g. PSC 833, ONYX-015 and ADP53) are currently being investigated for ovarian cancer patients. Further improvements may result from the optimisation of existing first-line regimens with more creative schedules, perhaps involving sequential or intraperitoneal administration of existing drugs, and the incorporation of newer noncross-resistant drugs.
