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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of low-dose-intensity bevacizumab and weekly irinotecan as salvage treatment for patients with platinum- and taxanes-resistant advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.

methodsFifty-two patients with platinum- and taxanes-resistant advanced epithelial ovarian cancer received bevacizumab 5 mg/Kg days 1 and 15; irinotecan 60 mg/m(2) days 1, 8 and 15. The combined therapy was repeated every 28 days, up to six cycles.

resultsA total of 230 cycles of bevacizumab combined with irinotecan were administrated to 52 patients. Among the 52 patients, 22 patients achieved partial response (42.3 %); 12 patients had stable disease (23.1 %) and 18 patients experienced disease progression (34.6 %). The median progression-free survival and the median overall survival were 8.0 months (95 % confidence interval: 6.74-9.26 months) and 13.8 months (95 % confidence interval: 11.97-15.63 months), respectively. The most frequent grade 3-4 hematologic toxicities were neutropenia (11.5 %) and thrombocytopenia (3.8 %). The non-hematologic toxicities included grade 3 diarrhea (3.8 %) and hypertension (3.8 %). Two patients (3.8 %) were confirmed with deep vein thrombosis. Febrile neutropenia, symptomatic cardiac dysfunction and gastrointestinal perforation were not observed in this study.

conclusionsThe combination of low-dose-intensity bevacizumab and weekly irinotecan was an effective and safe regimen for patients with platinum- and taxanes-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer.
