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

backgroundOvarian cancer is one of the most sensitive solid tumors, with objective responses ranging from 60 to 80% even in patients with advanced stage. However, most patients ultimately recur and develop resistance to chemotherapy. As a result, the survival rate for patients with ovarian cancer has not improved over the past 20 years. Resistance to chemotherapy presents a major obstacle to attempt to improve the prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer. A new strategy is necessary to improve the prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer.

methodsThe mechanism of chemoresistance was reviewed to get over the resistance. Additionally, the biological characteristics of ovarian cancer and molecular-targeted agents including signal-transduction inhibitors and anti-angiogenesis were discussed.

resultsGenetic diagnosis for chemosensitivity with drug-resistance genes may be a useful predictor. Unfortunately, molecular-targeted therapy alone has been insufficient to improve the prognosis for patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Molecular molecular-targeted therapy should be carried out together with conventional cytotoxic agents. On the occasion of the use of the molecular targeted-agents, care of the appearance of the unexpected adverse effect should be important.

conclusionThe future research in this field will enable to develop an effective strategy for conquest of chemoresistance in ovarian cancer.
