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

The aim of the present study was to identify clinicopathological factors in long-term survivors following ovarian cancer recurrence. The patients who achieved longer survival after recurrence (n=18) and those who succumbed to the disease earlier (n=47) were identified and analyzed. There were no significant differences in age, performance status, stage distribution or histology between the two groups. Additionally, no significant difference was observed in progression-free survival after primary therapy. Multivariate analyses revealed that the predictive factors for long-term survival were i) secondary debulking surgery (OR=13.3; 95% CI: 1.39-226.7), ii) favourable response rate of second-line chemotherapy (OR=46.5; 95% CI: 1.84-313-4), and iii) ≥3 regimens after first recurrence (OR=9.01; 95% CI: 1.28-117.7). This study revealed that prolonged post-progression survival was associated with post-recurrence treatment. Therefore, appropriate selection of secondary debulking surgery and better chemotherapeutic response may lead to prolonged post-progression survival in recurrent ovarian cancer patients.
