Dual Fulvestrant-Trametinib Therapy in Recurrent Low-Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer.
Article in The oncologist, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Low-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (LGSOC) is known to exhibit chemoresistance. Effective treatment options for recurrent disease are few and often limited to hormone antagonism. Combination of endocrine therapies with MEK-inhibitors displays synergism in preclinical ovarian cancer models, however. This brief communication presents the use of combination anti-estrogenic and MEK-inhibitor therapies, fulvestrant and trametinib, as treatment in a heavily pretreated patient with estrogen receptor-positive, recurrent LGSOC. The dual-therapy regimen was well tolerated and appeared to confer 9 months of progression-free survival. Further investigation is warranted to explore this effect.
