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 a most common lethal gynecological malignant tumor, with a gradual increasing incidence throughout the world. The mainstay treatment is cytoreductive surgery followed by platinum-based chemotherapy. However, a high percentage of patients recur, thus needing multiple treatments with a frequently poor prognosis. Apatinib is a novel and highly selective tyrosine kinase inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2. Previous studies have suggested that apatinib is safe and effective in some solid tumors. We report one case with platinum-resistant advanced epithelial ovarian cancer, who had failed prior treatment with multiple chemotherapy reagents. She was negative for multiple driver genes including BRCA1/2、EGFR、KRAS/NRAS/BRAF, ALK, HER2 and cMET. Five courses of apatinib plus epirubicin were given. Due to the heavy leukothrombopenia, apatinib monotherapy, at 250 mg qd dose level, was used for maintenance therapy. The progression-free survival (PFS) time was 12.6 months. After that, the disease was slightly progressive during apatinib maintenance and then entered into a "stable" state until now. It indicated that apatinib may be a superior choice for advanced ovarian cancer patients, but further prospective studies are needed to optimize the treatment.
