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

backgroundPARP inhibitors have shown promising clinical results in cancer patients carrying BRCA1/2 mutations. Their clinical efficacy could logically be influenced by PARP1 protein levels in patient tumors.

methodsWe screened three cohorts of patients with ovarian cancer, totaling 313 samples, and evaluated PARP1 protein expression by immunohistochemistry with further validation by western blotting.

resultsWe observed that up to 60 % of tumors showed little PARP1 protein expression. In serous ovarian tumors, comparing intratumoral PARP1 expression between chemo-naïve and post-chemotherapy patients revealed a decrease in intratumoral PARP1 following chemotherapy in all three cohorts (immunohistochemistry: p < 0.001, n = 239; western blot: p = 0.012, n = 74). The findings were further confirmed in a selection of matched samples from the same patients before and after chemotherapy.

conclusionOur data suggest that patients should be screened for PARP1 expression prior to therapy with PARP inhibitors. Further, the observed reduction of intratumoral PARP1 post-chemotherapy suggests that treating chemo-naïve patients with PARP inhibitors prior to the administration of chemotherapy, or concurrently, might increase the responsiveness to PARP1 inhibition. Thus, a change in the timing of PARP inhibitor administration may be warranted for future clinical trials.
