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.

Abstract
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the leading cause of death among gynecological malignancies in China. In particular, advanced/refractory ovarian cancer lacks effective targeted therapies due to the immunosuppressive and proangiogenic tumor microenvironment. Mesothelin (MSLN) has been found to be highly expressive in most EOC. Targeting MSLN by antibodies or chimeric antigen receptor-modified T (CAR-T) cells and immune checkpoint blockades as well as apatinib, an anti-angiogenic drug, have been used in patients with refractory ovarian cancer. Apatinib was reported to promote the infiltration of CD8 CASE PRESENTATION: Here we report a case of refractory EOC in a patient who had relapsed after multiline chemotherapy. The patient received autologous T cells that contained sequences encoding single-chain variable fragments specific for MSLN and full-length antibody for PD-1 (αPD-1). The modified T cells were called αPD-1-mesoCAR-T cells. After infusion, the copy number and PD-1 antibody secretion of the CAR-T cells were increased in the blood. By application of multimodality tumor tracking, MRI of the liver showed shrinkage of metastatic nodules from average diameter of 71.3-39.1 mm at month 2. The patient achieved partial response and survived more than 17 months. IL-6 levels in the patient fluctuated from the baseline to 2-4-folds after treatment, but side effects were mild with only grade 1 hypertension and fatigue.
conclusionαPD-1-mesoCAR-T cell therapy combined with apatinib demonstrates a potential therapeutic effect on advanced refractory ovarian cancer. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03615313.
