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

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death in women with gynecological cancer. Most patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage with a poor prognosis. Currently, surgical tumor debulking followed by chemotherapy based on platinum and taxane is the standard treatment for advanced disease. However, these patients remain at great risk for recurrence and developing drug resistance. Therefore, new treatment strategies are needed to improve outcomes for patients with advanced and recurrent ovarian cancer. Several agents targeted at particular molecules have been developed for ovarian cancer and are now entering clinical trials. The functional targets of these agents are aberrations in tumor tissues including angiogenesis, the human epidermal growth factor receptor family, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, and α-folate receptor (α-FR). The anti-angiogenic compound bevacizumab has been reported as the most effective targeted agent. Bevacizumab plus chemotherapy prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) both for advanced and platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer, but did not increase overall survival. A PARP inhibitor, olaparib, applied as maintenance treatment also improved PFS in platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer. Furthermore, mTOR inhibitors and a monoclonal antibody to α-FR, farletuzumab, are attractive treatment strategies either alone or combined with chemotherapy. Understanding the tumor molecular biology and identifying predictive biomarkers are essential steps in selecting the best treatment strategies. This article reviews available clinical data on the most promising targeted agents for ovarian cancer.
