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 present case report describes a patient with stage IV ovarian cancer who survived for 9 years without achieving a complete remission since the first relapse. The patient's long-term survival may be ascribed to the slow growth of the cancer cells, limited metastasis and favorable responses to the treatments received. The patient manifested initially with malignant pleural effusion and was not able to tolerate surgical treatment. However, the disease was well-controlled using various treatments, including neoadjuvant chemotherapy, interval cytoreductive surgery and post-operative long-term chemotherapy. Management of ovarian cancer is most effective when tailored to the individual needs of the patient, maximizing its efficacy and prolonging the patient's survival rate. The present case may offer useful insight into the clinical management of stage IV ovarian cancer.
