Aromatase inhibition in relapsing low malignant potential serous tumours of the ovary.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Low malignant potential serous tumours (LMPSTs) of the ovary represent an indolent disease, with an excellent prognosis in a majority of patients. Patients with recurrent LMPSTs tend to develop widespread disease with a mortality rate as high as 70%. These tumours tend to have a very poor response to standard chemotherapy, and the management of primary and recurrent disease beyond surgical resection is not well defined. The majority of LMPST have been reported to express oestrogen and progesterone hormone receptors. However, only three reported cases of antihormonal treatment in this setting, and only one using aromatase inhibitors (AI), have been previously reported. We herein report long-term complete remission of two patients with relapsed, chemotherapy-resistant LMPSTs, treated with long-term AI (anastrozole 1 mg daily) as per negative MRI and positron emission tomography scans. Our results warrant further investigation for the use of AIs for metastatic recurrent LMPSTs.
