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

objectivesTo observe the curative effects and adverse reactions of recombinant human (rh)-endostatin injection combined with a TP regimen for treating patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

methodsFifty-four patients with pathologically confirmed ovarian cancer were randomly divided into a combined treatment (intravenous pump of rh-endostatin + TP regimen) group and a control (single chemotherapy) group, twenty-seven patients in each group. All patients were given a conventional CT examination. The level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the size of tumor before treatment, after 2 cycles and after 4 cycles of treatment were determined for the comparison of curative effects and adverse reactions.

resultsThe effective rate was 37.0% (10/27) and disease control rate was 63.0% (17/27) in the combined treatment group after 2 cycles of treatment. The effective rate was 25.9% (7/27) and disease control rate was 63.0% (17/27) in the control group. The comparison between these two groups showed no significant differences (

conclusionThe pump delivery of rh-endostatin can down-regulate the expression of VEGF in ovarian cancer and has the better curative effect and slighter adverse reactions.
