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

purposeThis study was designed to evaluate the associations between angiogenesis gene polymorphisms and clinical outcome in ovarian cancer patients treated with low-dose cyclophosphamide and bevacizumab. EXPERIMENTAL

designSeventy recurrent/metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer patients were enrolled in a phase II clinical trial. Genomic DNA was available from 53 blood samples. Polymorphisms were analyzed using the PCR-RFLP protocol. A 5' end 33P gammaATP-labeled PCR protocol was used to analyze dinucleotide repeats.

resultsPatients genotyped A/A or A/T for the IL-8 T-251A gene polymorphism had a statistically significant lower response rate (19%; 0%) than those homozygous T/T (50%; P = 0.006, Fisher's exact test). Patients carrying a minimum one C allele (C/C; C/T) of the CXCR2 C+785T polymorphism showed a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 7.4 months compared with the PFS of 3.7 months for those homozygous T/T (P = 0.026, log-rank test). Patients with the VEGF C+936T polymorphism C/T genotype had a longer median PFS of 11.8 months, compared with those with the C/C and T/T genotype, which had median PFS of 5.5 months and 3.2 months, respectively (P = 0.061, log-rank test). Patients carrying both AM 3'end alleles < 14 CA repeats had the shortest median PFS of 3.4 months; patients with at least one allele > 14 repeats or both alleles > 14 repeats showed a median PFS of 6.4 months and 7.2 months, respectively (P = 0.008, log-rank test).

conclusionOur data suggest that the IL-8 A-251T polymorphism may be a molecular predictor of response to bevacizumab-based chemotherapy. The CXCR2 C+785T, VEGF C+936T single nucleotide polymorphisms and the AM 3' dinucleotide repeat polymorphisms may be molecular markers for PFS in ovarian cancer patients.
