Greater efficacy of intracavitary infusion of bevacizumab compared to traditional local treatments for patients with malignant cavity serous effusion.

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
Intracavitary infusion of bevacizumab is one effective treatment for malignant serous cavity effusion (MSCE). In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of local treatments in 996 advanced cancer patients with MSCE who received paracentesis and intracavitary bevacizumab, or chemotherapy, biological response modifiers, or simple puncture to drain the effusion. The median progression-free survival (PFS) time in patients treated with bevacizumab was 189 days (range, 13-522 days), which was longer than in patients who received one of the other three treatments (p < 0.05). Subgroup analysis revealed that intracavitary infusion of bevacizumab was advantageous for patients with malignant pleural, pericardial, or peritoneal effusions. The median PFS in patients receiving intracavitary bevacizumab did not significantly differ from that of patients receiving a combination of intracavitary and intravenous bevacizumab. Thus the efficacy did not depend on whether patients received intravenous bevacizumab. Only mild related adverse events were observed in all cases, and they did not differ between groups. Proteinuria (severity grade < 3) was most likely to occur in patients who received a combination of intracavitary and intravenous bevacizumab, but no obvious symptoms were observed. Thus, intracavitary infusion of bevacizumab was effective for controlling MSCE without apparent toxicity.
