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

introductionOvarian cancer is the most deadly gynecologic cancer, and the therapy is very difficult. Apatinib is a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2. At present, there are few studies or case reports on apatinib treatment for patients with ovarian cancer. CASE PRESENTATION: A 75-year-old Chinese woman had a medical history of ovarian high-grade serous papillary adenocarcinoma, who got many lines of chemotherapy and apatinib-an antiangiogenesis drug therapy. Either alone or in combination, apatinib may extend the survival time of patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

conclusionApatinib may be an option for advanced ovarian cancer after failure of chemotherapy or other targeted therapy. The role of apatinib in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer needs further study.
