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

purposeOptimal first-line chemotherapy regimens are crucial for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) treatment. Nab-paclitaxel has showed its considerable survival and low toxicity profiles in first-line treatment for three solid tumors and is recommended as a treatment for recurrent EOC. We focus on clinical efficacy and safety outcomes of nab-paclitaxel in current clinical studies of EOC treatment and aim to explore the potential feasibility of nab-paclitaxel as the first-line treatment for EOC.

methodsWe searched for eligible studies up to January 2020 in Pubmed. Outcomes of interests included drug regimes, objective response rate (ORR), median progression free survival (PFS), median overall survival (OS) and main adverse events to determine feasibility of nab-paclitaxel.

resultsThis review included nine eligible studies. One study about nab-paclitaxel with carboplatin as first-line therapy in ten cases after hypersensitivity to paclitaxel had an ORR of 100%, median PFS of 16.7 months and median OS of 65.4 months. Evidence of nab-paclitaxel activity in platinum-sensitive EOC demonstrated an ORR of 64%, a median time to response of 1.3 months and PFS of 8.5 months. The ORR, median PFS and median OS range in patients with recurrent platinum-resistant EOC from 23%-72%, 4.0-8.5 months, 16.8-17.4 months, respectively. All studies demonstrated manageable toxicity profile in EOC patients.

conclusionNab-paclitaxel presents potentials as the first-line chemotherapy for considerable survival and safety in EOC compared to conventional paclitaxel. However, there is no prospective trial in EOC so far. Therefore, more studies about nab-paclitaxel are needed.
