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

Bevacizumab (Bev) is an antiangiogenic drug used to treat various malignances, including ovarian cancer (OC). Bev is generally well-tolerated; however, it has a characteristic toxicity profile. In particular, gastrointestinal perforation (GIP) is a rare but serious side effect that can be lethal. A 55-year-old woman with recurrent OC had an episode of GIP during third-line chemotherapy comprising Bev and topotecan (TPT). Bev was discontinued while TPT was continued as monotherapy. Three months after discontinuation of Bev, the patient presented with left lower abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a second GIP. She had emergent surgery. One year later, she is still alive and healthy, and is continuing TPT. This is the first report of recurrent GIP after discontinuation of Bev. Our case suggests that physicians should be aware of GIP even after the discontinuation of Bev.
