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

BACKGROUND/

aimThere have not been enough recent studies investigating the incidence or efficacy of dose reduction in adjuvant chemotherapy for epithelial ovarian cancer. This study examined whether patients who needed dose reduction showed poorer survival outcomes. PATIENTS AND

methodsFrom 2011 to 2021, 102 patients were included in the study. Patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and those with early-stage disease were excluded. Patients were divided into two groups: those who had a ≥60% dose reduction during the whole period of first-line adjuvant chemotherapy, and those with dose reductions <60%. Of the 102 patients, 38 (37.3%) underwent dose reduction ≥60%.

resultsPFS was significantly longer in the group whose dose reductions were ≥60%, whereas OS was not significant.

conclusionA dose reduction of ≥60%, determined by patients' medical conditions, during first-line of adjuvant chemotherapy does not negatively influence survival outcomes, such as OS and PFS, in advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.
