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

importance of the fieldOvarian cancer remains a deadly malignancy because most patients develop recurrent disease that is resistant to chemotherapy, including platinum. Because response rates for current treatment regimens are relatively similar and unfortunately low, no standard chemotherapy for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer exists. AREAS COVERED IN THIS REVIEW: A systematic literature review of clinical studies published between January 2005 and March 2010 was conducted using search engines, PubMed and MEDLINE with the entry keywords 'ovarian cancer' and 'platinum resistance'. This search revealed 40 clinical trials (1793 patients). WHAT THE READER WILL GAIN: Gemcitabine was the most common drug used in clinical trials reporting higher response rates, ≥ +1 SD of overall response rate (5 out of 8). Gemcitabine-based combination therapy showed an average response rate of 27.2% (95% CI, 22.4-32.0). Combination of gemcitabine and pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) was the most common regimen (n = 3) and was associated with possible additive effects in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients: response rate, gemcitabine alone 6.1%, PLD alone 19.8%, and gemcitabine with PLD 28.7% (95% CI, 20.4-37.0), respectively. TAKE HOME MESSAGE: Analysis of recent clinical trials showed that gemcitabine-based combination chemotherapy was associated with the highest antitumor effects in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients during the study period.
