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

purposeTo evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of angiogenesis inhibitors for the treatment of ovarian cancer patients, we conducted a meta-analysis of the published literature on this subject.

methodsIn this meta-analysis, we searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The literature search was performed up to August 12, 2019. The risk of bias of the included studies was evaluated using The Cochrane Collaboration's tool, and the statistical analyses were performed using RevMan 5.3 software. The sensitivity analysis was performed with Stata 12.0 software.

results22 RCTs with 11,254 patients were included. Our meta-analysis demonstrates that angiogenesis inhibitors therapy can significantly improve progression-free survival (PFS) (hazard ratio [HR] 0.71, 95% CI 0.63-0.79, I

conclusionThis meta-analysis suggests angiogenesis inhibitors may significantly improve PFS and OS of ovarian cancer patients and increase the incidence of common adverse events.
