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

objectivesTo discuss the novel agents which are being developed for the treatment of advanced and recurrent endometrial carcinoma and to review other molecular targets that may be interesting in the treatment of this disease. While the majority of women with endometrial cancer enjoy a relatively good prognosis, the options for those women who suffer from a disease recurrence are limited and there is a need to identify novel agents.

methodsA review of clinical trials of novel therapeutic agents and their molecular targets is provided. In addition, a review of the current literature on other potential molecular targets for endometrial cancer was performed.

resultsSeveral phase II trials of novel agents, both alone and in combination with traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy, have been completed or are nearing completion. It appears that the targeted agents may have the most efficacy in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapy or in a multi-targeted agent approach.

conclusionsChemotherapy offers the opportunity for a meaningful response rate in women with endometrial cancer, but the responses are often short lived and cure is uncommon in the setting of recurrent disease. The recent increase in molecular targets has led to the availability of many novel therapies. Determining how these agents are to be used, alone or in combination with "standard" therapies, needs to be defined and translational studies are needed to develop rational combinations of these novel agents before we can move into clinical trials.
