Readministration of Platinum Agents in Recurrent Ovarian Cancer Patients Who Developed Hypersensitivity Reactions to Carboplatin.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimHypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) to carboplatin, a key drug for ovarian cancer patients, are problematic. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of readministration of platinum agents (PTs) in recurrent ovarian cancer patients who developed HSRs to carboplatin. PATIENTS AND
methodsThirty-one patients with recurrent ovarian cancer who developed HSRs to carboplatin were divided into those who continued to receive PTs in the following cycle (continuation group, n=24) and those in whom either the drug was switched to non-platinum agents (non-PTs) or chemotherapy was ended (discontinuation group, n=7). Outcomes were evaluated based on patients' medical records.
resultsThe median survival time following HSRs was 28.1 and 15.4 months in the continuation and discontinuation groups, respectively (p=0.018). In the continuation group, a total of 155 cycles of PTs were re-administrated, and 50 cycles (32%) led to recurrent HSRs. There were no recurrent HSRs with a severity of grade 3 or greater.
conclusionContinuation of PTs in ovarian cancer patients may contribute to improvement in their overall survival without severe recurrent HSRs.
