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

Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of death from gynecologic cancers. In this present era of cancer treatment, therapeutic options for patients with advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer are limited. The present standard of care treatment for advanced ovarian cancer is a platinum-based doublet chemotherapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin with or without bevacizumab) after a maximum attempt of surgical cytoreduction. However, there are no promising options for the management of patients with ovarian cancer refractory to the platinum-based chemotherapy. Therefore, newer, safe, and more effective treatment modalities are required for patients with advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer. Poly(adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have shown an impressive safety profile and anti-tumor efficacy in patients with breast cancer 1 and 2 (BRCA1 and BRCA2) gene-mutated ovarian cancer who were previously treated with the standard of care chemotherapy. We have done a detailed review of the literature to emphasize the role of PARP inhibitors in the treatment of advanced or relapsed ovarian cancer.
