High-dose chemotherapy with autologous haemopoietic support for advanced ovarian cancer in first complete remission: retrospective analysis from the Solid Tumour Registry of the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT).
Article in Bone marrow transplantation, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The majority of advanced ovarian cancer patients achieve an objective response following chemotherapy; however, only 20-30% are in remission after 5 years. Intraperitoneal or high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) may prolong disease-free and overall survival (OS) in patients with platinum-sensitive, small volume disease. To better define the subsets of patients who might benefit from HDC, we performed a retrospective analysis on 91 patients in 1st complete remission (CR) treated from 21 centres of the EBMT group. At a median follow-up of 48 months, median time-to-progression (TTP) and OS were 21.2 and 44.4 months, respectively. Tumour grade, stage, residual disease, disease status before HDC, type and year of transplant, source of haemopoietic progenitors and use of haemopoietic growth factors (HGF) after transplant were analysed for TTP and OS. The only significant parameter was the use of HGF: median OS for patients receiving or not receiving HGF was 46.2 vs 17.8 months, respectively (P: 0.035); this difference was maintained after multivariate analysis (P: 0.02). Our analysis does not identify any subgroup of patients in 1st CR who can benefit from HDC; however, median survival of patient with no residual disease has not been reached. The role of HGF after HDC deserves further investigation.
