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

Ovarian cancer is the second most common gynecologic malignancy in the United States and the most common cause of gynecologic cancer-related death. The majority of ovarian cancers ultimately recur despite excellent response rates to upfront platinum- and taxane-based chemotherapy. Maintenance therapy after frontline treatment has emerged in recent years as an effective tool for extending the platinum-free interval of these patients. Maintenance therapy with PARP inhibitors (PARPis), in particular, has become part of standard of care in the upfront setting and in patients with platinum-sensitive disease. Homologous recombination deficient (HRD) tumors have a nonfunctioning homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway and respond well to PARPis, which takes advantage of synthetic lethality by concomitantly impairing DNA repair mechanisms. Conversely, patients with a functioning HRR pathway, that is, HR-proficient tumors, can still elicit benefit from PARPi, but the efficacy is not as remarkable as what is seen in HRD tumors. PARPis are ineffective in some patients due to HR proficiency, which is either inherent to the tumor or potentially acquired as a method of therapeutic resistance. This review seeks to outline current strategies employed by clinicians and scientists to overcome PARPi resistance-either acquired or inherent to the tumor.
